Cold Sores
"I typically get cold sores when the weather changes drastically or when I&#039;m stressed. Combine those two and its cold sore central! They would usually form and then last for at least 7 painful days. I FINALLY got prescribed valacyclovir and I must say, it&#039;s working very well. The first time I took it I was mid cold sore so I didn&#039;t get the full effect. This time I took it at the on sight of a cold sore and it worked wonderfully. It didn&#039;t prevent the cold sore, but it went from inflammation to healing after merely 2 pills without the pre-sore, open sore, and crusting phases. I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone suffering from cold sores."
