cold sores
"I've been getting cold sores since I was a baby! I'd always use ice and Carmex and other over the counter medicines like Abreva. Even those made my cold sore keep growing for days before it scanned and gave me pain! When I was 17 I finally told my doctor I couldn't handle these anymore because I was getting them about every 3 weeks so he gave me this in a low dose and now I take it as soon as I feel it coming and I never even get the cold sore! Since I started this medication I rarely get outbreaks anymore. In the occasion that my cold sore starts before I have the medication in hand I just take it ASAP and it heals within hours. No side effects for me! It also takes the pain away!"
