    Find the cold sore tablets you need

    Cold sores are a common issue that many people will experience at some point in their lives, but that doesn’t stop many people from feeling embarrassed and run down when suffering from one. While they can clear up on their own within around 10 days, the right medication can alleviate the issue quickly and easily, so you can get back to business as usual.

    A cold sore usually starts with an itching, tingling or burning feeling. You may notice discomfort when moving your mouth, or have the urge to touch your lips frequently. After around 48 hours, you will notice small fluid-filled blisters appearing on the skin. These will usually appear around the mouth, but in fact they can appear anywhere on the face. After a while, the blisters will burst and crust over into a scab.
