skinut2234 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I'm getting desperate... When I get really stressed I get cold sores (Herpes). I've been OK for a while but this latest outbreak has given me like 6 of them and I am contantly in pain!!!! Eating has become a nightmare. I will take ANY suggestions as to try and numb them so I can eat- I tried the topical stuff- but it just never works- I've been to the doctor- she prescribed Valtrex. Any other home remedies to ease the pain???
laRubiaBonita Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 neosporin will help keep the scabs moist so they will not break as easy when you open your mouth to eat, and it will make them look a little less crusty. lay off spicy foods, acidic foods. take a vitamin b suppliment, as it promotes healing, and i think it helps prevent them (for me anyways). just eat small bites, take it slow, wash your face with warm-soapy water, and but on neosporin...they have it with pain relief...try that.
