There are several things that can be done to get rid of a cold sore.

Prevention in the first place, of course, is preferable.

Cold sores (also known as herpes simplex) often erupt while one is

suffering from the common cold - hence its name. It can last from ten to

fourteen days on average. If outbreaks occur frequently, or tend to heal

more slowly than this, it is advisable to seek a doctor who will determine

the underlying cause(s) and hopefully offer a course of treatment.

Here follows some well tried remedies for getting rid of cold sores that

are believed to be successful. Often, they may be used in conjunction

together:

1 Apply ice to the cold sore for 5-10 minutes every hour. Spreading can

be prevented by application of a cold, wet used tea bag for about the

same period of time. Tea contains tannic acid which is antiviral in its

effect.

A recommended herbal remedy to get rid of a cold sore is a drink made

of a combination of tea tree oil, sage and violet - a herbal sedative. An

infusion is made from adding this combination, with two or three leaves

of sage and a piece of ginger root or ginger powder to a cup of boiling

water. A cup of this tea should be drunk, after it has brewed for a few

minutes, twice or three times daily.

A warm tea bag applied for about a half-hour several times a day may

work to remove the cold sore within five or six days.

Yet another remedy for a cold sore is the ingestion of four capsules of

acidophilus with milk three or four times every day. Other remedies include: Rubbing aloe gel or juice on the site of the cold sore; Apply a paste made of cornstarch. Apply lemon balm extracts.or spirit of camphor.

Vitamin B, especially vitamin B-12, and folic acid are supplements that

help rid a body of a cold sore. Another traditional remedy to get rid of a cold sore is a formula that can

be prepared for use in advance, then stored in a glass or plastic bottle for

later use. Here is the formula: 100 ml. of coconut oil, 2 ml. of dettol 3 ml. of carbolic acid. Apply once or twice a day directly to the cold sore site. This also is said to

work for boils, minor itching and mosquito bites. The shelf life of the

formula is many years. Witch hazel is said to help cure cold sores as well.

Foods that make cold sores far worse and whose avoidance will help

toprevent cold sores are: Chocolate, peas, nuts, seeds, oatmeal and other whole wheat foods.

These foods have a lot of arginine which aggravates the cold sore blister.
