In addition to glycerol, an ingredient with a high osmotic capacity, Oralherp has also been formulated with tea, vine, and elderberry extracts (tannins).
TIPS TO PREVENT SPREAD:
If you have a cold sore, prevent the spread of the virus by following a few simple tips:
Do not touch the blisters: It is important that you never touch the open sore and, above all, do not rub your eyes. Before and after applying your OralHerp treatment, wash your hands with soap and water.
Avoid direct contact of the sore with other people: It is important that the cold sore has completely disappeared: do not kiss other people or come into direct contact with other people's skin.
Avoid indirect contact: Do not share towels, drinking glasses, eating utensils, or lip balm with others until the cold sore has completely cleared up.
Once the outbreak has cleared up: You should wash all sheets and towels and change your toothbrush. Also, if you used any lip balm or lipstick during the cold sore outbreak, you should discard it.
TIPS TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAK:
Although you cannot prevent a new cold sore outbreak, you can be aware of the triggers for cold sores:
Get enough rest every day: Getting the sleep our body needs helps us be more rested and helps eliminate stress, which allows us to have a stronger immune system to prevent the appearance of cold sores.
Use lip balm in winter: Cold or dry air can be triggers for cold sores. Keeping your lips moisturized can help prevent them from appearing.
And in summer, sun protection: UV rays are also a trigger for cold sores, so it's recommended to use a lip balm with UVB/UVA sun protection during the warmer months.
Lead a healthy lifestyle: Exercising regularly and maintaining a balanced diet helps strengthen our immune system and reduce stress.
