Bloody Coldsores


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm sick of 'em!

 

anyone know any handy hints and tips as to getting rid quick, or trying to keep them at bay?

 

i find the creams that are supposed to stop them coming if used as soon as you feel "the tingle" just delay the inevitable!

years ago there used to be this purple liquid "gentian violet"

worked a treat - instantly cleared mouth ulcers but they took it off the market cos it is cancer causing (carceogenic - if that how it is spelt!!)

nothing else worked - except yep you are probably run down if you keep getting them

isn't there a mouth wash that helps with that prob?  also for gingervitus ect......

 

Gingivitis, bleeding gums!

 

gingervitus (alergic to ginger hair?)

 

PMSL!

I don't suffer from cold sores but if I get the slightest hint of one, Zovirax is what I reach for..

I do suffer from the odd mouth ulcer from time to time and find bonjela is excellent and it tastes nice, which is a plus.

What about mouth ulcers?  Any tips for getting rid of them?  I know I must be run down .............

 

Something like Corsadil (spelling?) cream or mouthwash works for me.

 

It might also be worth trying to see if there's a connection between what you eat and the ulcers. Tomatos and orange juice both set mine off

Yeah and I reckon you should only eat organic/free range chicken - all the antiobiotics and funny food that battery hens eat plays havoc with your gums (I reckon and IMO - so dont all shout at me in disagreement please)

only once have i managed to stop 1 developing when I felt the "tell tell tingle" by using zovirax. i read a tip somewhere that putting an ice cube on it works so tried it out, it didnt stop it completely but it certianly reduced the size of the bugger, it`s certainly a good option if you cant get to the chemist

Don't think I've had a coldsore for maybe 15 years or so. Not sure why I don't get them.

 

Mouth ulcers though respond really well the jabbing shards of salt & vinegar flavour crisps into them I think....
