How Effective Is Lysin In Curing Cold Sores And Blisters?

default
Posted on Fri, 5 Aug 2016
Question: Hi Doctors,

This is a general question. I understand that taking lysin will reduce number of re occurrence. Does it also reduces the severity of the cold sore? I've been to a doctor and she a ared me. she told me that sometimes i wont even notice the blister.

so im even more stressed because i do actually want to know when i have cold sore because i dont want to pass into anyone.

if a person has been takin lysin would the blister be healed in 3 or 4 days?


Thank you
doctor

Brief Answer:
Taking lysin orally and applying locally can help heal the cold sores...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Researches have shown that taking lysin on daily basis can reduce the re-occurrence of cold sores. It can also reduce the symptoms of cold sore.

As I was reviewing your case, I noted that you have had frequent cold sores episodes and you've been worried too much. Please take note that common cold is a viral disease caused by herpes simplex virus. This is the most common infection of upper respiratory tract. In case of low immunity, or other triggers, its symptoms can be shown up with cold sores as the most common signs. Sometimes, it can can be represented clinically with cold sores alone.

Once again, I understand it might be fastidious, but it is not a serious illness.
Taking Lysin orally and applying locally on the cold sores, can help them get healed within a couple of days.

Hope it helped.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Ok, then, unfortunately, common cold can be easily pass to others (it's very contagious). It depends on the strength of your immunity if you'll develop the symptoms or not.

Let me know if you have further queries.
