Cold Sores Causes and Remedies
Cold Sore Remedy #3: Ice
Ice may not contain any medicinal properties, but it can still help to soothe the pain that so often comes with a cold sore. It can also reduce the inflammation while the cold will also help to slow down the activity of any bacteria in the area.
Another positive of using ice is that it is so easy to use. Just take some from the freezer and place it in a compress. Place the cold compress directly onto the affected area and leave it there for as long as you like. It can be a welcome relief to people that are suffering from particularly painful sores.
