How do I avoid getting cold sores during the night?!


Question: How do I avoid getting cold sores during the night!?
I have been getting cold sores all my life since I was about 8 years old (I'm 24)!. I usually get them during the night, so by the time I wake up, it's too late to make a huge difference!. I have consulted my doctor who says the stress is coming from the braces that I have had for about a year and a half!. Does anyone have any suggestions please, I'm getting them almost every month now!. My doctor did give me denvair (not sure of the spelling) but by the time I take it (in the morning) it doesn't help all that much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

During an outbreak of cold sores, salty foods, citrus foods (oranges etc!.), and other foods that irritate the sores should be avoided!. Wash the sores once or twice a day with warm, soapy water and pat gently to dry!. Over-the-counter lip products that contain the chemical phenol (such as Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment) and numbing ointments (Anbesol) help to relieve cold sores!. A bandage may be placed over the sores to protect them and prevent spreading the virus to other sites on the lips or face!. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) may be taken if necessary to reduce pain and fever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
