Cold Sores 3 years ago

I’ve had these cold sores and a sore throat now for almost a week. What is the deal? I typically eat very healthy, exercising. Oh, I haven’t been getting enough sleep. Okay, that might be it.

I’d been using Oil of Oregano, full strength, OWWWW!!! on them. But, to no avail.

I’ve found the past few months, I’ve been getting cold sores more often. I’m thinking my kids touch my water bottle cap with their dirty hands? I’m trying to make sure to wash my bottle out every day. Sometimes I forget.

cold sores are the bane of my existence!

i know you posted ages ago.. but:

cold sores = a virus. they usually come up when you’re stressed or you’re immunity is low. I’ve never heard of using oil or oregano… but what does work is the second you feel like one is coming up.. take lots of lysine (its a vitamin supplement) and drink a lot of water. for me sometimes it stops it from coming up altogether. Also, ask your doctor for acyclovir or zovirax.. it shortens the healing time. It comes in pill form and a cream. use both. and make sure you get plenty of sleep!

Kids sometimes have it, but i doubt that’s what makes them come up. it’s primarily stress.

Haha, cold sores are a terrible thing to cheer. but i completely empathize..!

Stress = Cold Sore

I’m not sure why I had them. I haven’t had any now for a little bit and not sure why they went away, even though I’m so incredibly stressed.

Stress - Cold Sores

Yes, it seems like stress is a huge component.

Are those things acyclovir or zovirax natural stuff or are they prescriptions?

I’ve been washing my bottles more, so that seems to be helping.

Ironically, I found that brushing my teeth more often, which I do several times a day anyway, seems to help. Weird.
