Learn about the best treatment that is available for cold sores.
I want to talk to you about the best cold sore
treatment that is available for you. There are a lot of people that get
outbreaks of this on their lips, but really don't understand why it
happens. I'm surprised how many people think that this is some sort of
irritation or infection. It is actually a virus (HSV-1) that lives in
your body. There is no cure for it because the virus hides in the nerve
cells of your body where antibodies can't destroy it. So it lays
dormant until it has a favorable time to spread and create sores on
your lips. I'm going to talk to you about the best cold sore treatment.
The
first thing you have to understand is that you end up having an
outbreak when your immune system is weak. Remember, this is a virus and
it spreads when it gets the chance. To prevent this problem from ever
occurring, you're going to have to keep your immune system at a peak.
That means you have to be eating properly and exercising on a regular
basis. You don't have to flip your life upside down, but you should be
putting healthy practices into your daily life.
The best cold
sore treatment is cleanliness. Cold sores have one specific purpose;
spreading. This is a viral problem, so the best thing you can do is
prevent the spreading. Keep the sore clean and dry. Try and wash your
hands on a regular basis. Also don't poke it with your finger or tongue
because you're just aggravating it.
