Oh, you poor thing

You won't believe this!!!! I woke up with a cold sore on my top lip this morning, I never get cold sores!!

RaisingDancers ouchy I am crossing my legs just reading your post...are you also treating for thrush? Get the 3-day canesten, it seems to work quicker, reduce the sugar/refined carbs in your diet (that will help starve the thrush off) and if it recurs get your blood sugar tested. Re the cold sores - you might get some temp relief from icing it...depending on how accessible it is. Also, there is a brand of cold sore cream called Virasolve, it is a thousand million times better than zovirax because it has a LOCAL ANAESTHETIC in it...which sounds like exactly what you need, poor thing

Ring around your local pharmacies until you find one that stocks the Virasolve. It's been around for yonks and is cheaper than Zovirax, but Zovirax tends to do more advertising so that's what people buy.

Ill give them a call

If you get no joy from them, speak to them about what else you could use to numb the pain - maybe there is another cream or something like Emla that they have?
