Hi,I have a cold sore, which usually comes with mucus in my eyes so I can't see well, as I have now. I also have a new pain in the roof of my mouth and have developed a cough. I've been taking lysine and ibuprofen, but am not getting better. Usually I can ride it out, but am getting worse. Is there anything I can do at home to help.Thanks,
**1. going by your history: symptoms are worsening and not getting better, it requires an Examination with Oral Surgeon /Dentist/ [roof of  mouth], ENT specialist [since cough has developed] to look for any hidden/underlying pathology, [oral hygiene, blood test for infection, appropriate X-ray], and so in best Interest prior to have an appointment with them, at home, the case can be managed on the basis of stomatits. avoid food that contain acid [citrus fruits], also nuts, chocolates. stop Irritants like NSAIDs [pain killers]. take a cotton swab and soak it in any type of raw liquor, press it directly on the sore for about 2 minutes.. eat ripe pomegranate.. mix honey in cold water and gargle with this [three times a day], or you may use mouth rinse with baking soda in it.. avoid: black gram,milk,yogurt,jaggery,dry/heavy food,day time sleeping, sleeping in prone position..
