There’s no permanent cure for cold sores, but treatments can help manage symptoms and speed up healing:
1. Antiviral pills: Medications like acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir can reduce the length and severity of an outbreak, especially if taken early.
2. Topical antiviral creams: Help ease symptoms and may reduce viral spread.
3. Pain relievers: Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or numbing creams, can help relieve discomfort.
4. Moisturizing balms or creams: Soothing lip products can reduce dryness and ease pain around the sores.
