Frequently Asked Questions about Zovirax Cold Sore Cream Q. What is a cold sore?A. A cold sore is an infection, which is caused by an organism, called the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus is different from the one that causes colds. Although most of the population carries the virus, not everyone gets attacks of cold sores. However, one in four people do get repeated attacks. They can have between one and six attacks a year. Q. When does the infection occur?A. The first infection usually occurs in early childhood probably after being kissed by a person with a cold sore – for example a parent or other adult, brother or sister. The virus passes through the skin, travels up a nerve and then hides in a nerve junction until reactivated. Q. What happens when the virus is reactivated?A. The cold sore virus returns down the nerve to the face where it starts to replicate – causing the tingling sensation. If not treated, the virus replication results in the formation of a cold sore blister. The tingle is your warning that a cold sore is about to appear. The tingle is your signal to start using Zovirax Cold Sore Cream. Q. What reactivates the virus?A. Any of the following may trigger an attack. Cold & Flu Menstruation Emotional Upset and Stress Bright sunlight Stomach upset Fatigue Physical injury Feeling ‘run down’ Q. How does Zovirax Cold Sore Cream work?A. Zovirax Cold Sore Cream contains the antiviral agent Aciclovir, in a new easy to rub-in cream formula. When used at the tingle stage, Zovirax Cold Sore Cream can stop the virus activity and so prevent the cold sore blister from appearing. When used at the blister stage, Zovirax can stop the virus activity to speed up healing. Q. How do I use Zovirax Cold Sore Cream?A. Wash your hands before and after treating the cold sore as to avoid making it worse or giving the infection to someone else. Apply the cream to the affected area 5 times daily (about every four hours). If you forget a treatment apply some as soon as you remember, then continue as before. Continue treatment for 5 days. If your cold sore has not healed after this time, treatment may be continued for up to a further 5 days. If full healing still has still not occurred after 10 days, or if your cold sore becomes very severe, consult your doctor. Do not exceed the stated dose. Some "Do’s" and "Don’t’s" Cold Sores are infectious. Always wash your hands after touching cold sores, or applying medication to them. Avoid touching your eyes. Women are advised to be especially careful when applying make-up. Do not use saliva to wet contact lenses. Avoid kissing, especially children, when you have a cold sore. Avoid breaking the blisters and picking the scabs. Not only can you infect your fingers with the virus – you may infect your cold sore with other germs (eg bacteria). Avoid sharing your eating and drinking utensils. Avoid sharing the same towel with other people. Do not use if you are pregnant or are breast-feeding unless your doctor advises. Remember: Zovirax Cold Sore Cream can prevent a cold sore developing if used at the tingle phase. Zovirax Cold Sore Cream can shorten the time to heal an existing cold sore. Zovirax Cold Sore Cream should be used 5 times a day for 5 days. One Zovirax Cold Sore Cream pack is enough to treat several cold sores. Click here to order Zovirax Cold Sore Cream online now!
