Suggest Remedy For Recurring Cold Sores In Mouth And Eyes
I have been having cold sores and styes one area at a time for the past 4 months I am 51 years old and have only had one or two of these over the past years. I have about two weeks clear before another one pops up on either my mouth or one of my eyes.
Hi. As per your case history of cold sores, my treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for 5-7 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
