Cold Sores - Ionia,MI

I use colliodial silver. doesn't sting and the cold sore goes away fast.

Hi, I don't have your answer. I have never had my child get a coldsore. but I tried to research an answer and came up with this:

caution: Urge your child to avoid touching his eyes when he has a cold sore. HSV-1 can cause ocular herpes, a serious eye infection. If your child develops a painful sore on his eyelid or the surface of his eye, schedule a prompt appointment with his pediatrician: Your child may need antiviral drugs to keep the infection from scarring his cornea. In rare cases, ocular herpes can weaken vision and even cause blindness.

Cold sores are a herpes complex virus, so there's little you can do to treat it, but there are products that help abbreviate the length of the virus.

Herpecin L is a good product (I'd urge you to ask the pediatrician/pharmacist if it's OK to use on a 4 year-old). Carmex dries out the cold sore, but again, I'd check first.

Your pharmacist should be a good place to start and to find out of there's anything naturally based that will help shorten the duration of the cold sore.

I do everything holistic and natural wouldn't do it any other way, tea tree oil will help applied every couple hours
