Cold sore treatment online UK
Cold sores are common and treatable. Early antiviral treatment shortens healing time; people with frequent recurrences benefit from prescriber-led prevention plans.
Quick answer: Recurrent cold sores (herpes simplex) respond to antiviral tablets taken at the first tingle — supplied after assessment. Frequent outbreaks may need suppressive daily treatment.
