Do you have friends or family who suffer from debilitating cold sores? A resounding “yes,” I’m certain. We all know someone or seen someone who suffers from this difficult and annoying problem. The oh-so famous “tingling” on the lip is the first sign that a cold sore is imminent. At this point, it’s downhill if you don’t take action quick.
I believe in tackling problems head-on, so when my friend noticed she was getting a cold sore a few days before a job interview (nice timing) and I witnessed her putting ice on it to fix her problem, I advised her to take action and use Abreva®. When used at the first sign of a cold sore, Abreva® can shorten the healing time of your cold sore to as few as two and half days*. Why wait that long and suffer when you can use real medicine and shorten the healingtime and duration of symptoms? In the world of cold sores, this is an amazing feat!
Wives tales are certainly nice at bedtime but they won’t solve a cold sore problem when it strikes, it will only prolong the pain and suffering of having a cold sore, this is a real drag. Real medicine is needed to get to the root of a cold sore problem; Abreva® is the answer.
While lip balms, licorice, ibuprofen and chamomile tea are commonly known to alleviate the pain, along with myriad of other so-called quick fixes, they definitely won’t shorten the duration of a cold sore. Take back your life and take action and use real medicine and debunk the wives tales.
There are many triggers that contribute to the appearance of cold sores caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for this meddling problem so utilizing real medicine that works to combat the problem at first sight is paramount . Further, you don’t need to go to a doctor to get a prescription; Abreva® is available without a prescription in the cough/cold aisle at all major drug, mass, pharmacy and grocery retailers.
Common triggers are: Mental stress, being upset, an injury to the affected area, menstruation or intense sunlight. Using real medicine like Abreva® is a necessary component to combat the problem.
*Median Healing Time 4.1 days. 25% of users healed in 2.5 days.
