Cold Sore Treatment – New Treatment Options

Don’t think that you are the lone cold sore sufferer. Almost 70% of the American population suffers from fever blisters. They might have been affected by it any age. The main problem with this disease is that it is recurring.

Due to its recurrent attack nature, cold sores have gained much publicity.  The causes of recurrence have not yet been established. However, the medical experts feel that stress, over exposure to extreme conditions, dental problems, and  trauma stimulate the reactivation of cold sores periodically.

As per scientific research, a cold sore is believed to be caused by herpes simplex virus type 1. Though there is no scientific evidence to prove it, cold sores originate during childhood. The signs and symptoms range from sore throat, swollen glands, and fever blisters in and around the lip and neck area.

When coming to cold sore treatment, there are a lot of medications. But no drug has effective rate in curing this herpes virus problem. Earlier doctors used to prescribe acyclovir then started prescribing famciclovir and valacyclovir under the brand name Valtrex. The new cold sore treatment is given through penciclovir. However, none of these medications treat cold sores effectively.

These anti viral medications just suppress the fever blisters sore problem superficially. In the sense, they decrease the pain and relieve discomfort on temporary basis. They don’t remove herpes virus from your body permanently. This is mainly due to the nature of cold sore herpes simplex virus. The virus develops immunity against the anti viral prescriptions and medications.

Even after years of research and development, there is no vaccine available to treat cold sores. As the herpes virus is dangerous, it should be treated in a natural manner.
