Preguntas Frecuentes sobre Tratamiento de Cold Sores
Preguntas comunes sobre el tratamiento de cold sores en Alicante
Can I get cold sore medication online in Alicante?
Yes, our doctors can prescribe antiviral medications like valacyclovir or acyclovir. Starting treatment early (at the first tingling) can significantly reduce outbreak severity and healing time.
How effective are antivirals for cold sores?
Antiviral medications can reduce healing time by 1-2 days and decrease severity when taken at the first sign of an outbreak. For frequent outbreaks, daily suppressive therapy can reduce recurrence by up to 80%.
Can online doctors help with frequent cold sore outbreaks?
Yes, if you experience frequent outbreaks (6+ per year), our doctors can discuss suppressive antiviral therapy, which involves taking medication daily to prevent outbreaks.
Are cold sores contagious?
Yes, cold sores are highly contagious, especially when blisters are present. Our doctors will provide guidance on preventing transmission to others.
How quickly should I start cold sore treatment?
