Cold Sores
"I&#039;m 32 and have had cold sores my whole life. It wasn&#039;t until I was about 24 when I decided to see a doctor about them. He gave me some Zovirax which did very little. I was first prescribed Acyclovir about 3 years ago and was amazed how well it worked. The instant that I feel a blister coming on I take Acyclovir and the blisters scab over within a day and begins healing. I remember not wanting to go to school as a kid because of that ugly patch of blisters on my mouth. From beginning to end it used to take 10-14 days for my sores to completely heal. Now it&#039;s always less then a week and they are much smaller. Also I&#039;ve noticed that I don&#039;t get them as frequently since I&#039;ve been taking acyclovir. I always seem to feel moody and irritated on it."
