FAQ sul Trattamento di Cold Sores
Can I get cold sore medication online?
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?
The sooner the better! Starting antiviral treatment within 24-48 hours of the first symptoms (tingling, itching) provides the best results. With UrgentDoc, you can get a prescription quickly.
