Posted , 6 users are following.

I have been sick with horrible sore throat and fever , chills and aches and pains. Been on antibotics, now I have a cold sore on my lip anyone every get them and what do you do to care for it. My bottom  right side lip is blister sore and red some puffy. Please don't say anything to scare the heck out of me already panic about it, I havent had one of these in years years!  I started Champor P sp? Can cold sores blister be red and swollen around them? For the ladies that pray please pray for me and a friend of mine fighting lung cancer her name is Ida. I do NOT smoke. I was surprised I got the cold sore because I am on antibotics!  Please dont scare me. Panic mode in high gear.

    I read articles that antibiotics gets rid of bad bacteria, but it can also deplete your body of good bacteria which helps keep your body healthy. Plus having unbalanced hormones really puts stress on the immune system

    Try increasing nutrient rich foods, get rest. Zinc is good for fighting off colds and infections. I used to get cold sores too, especially when I would come down with a bad cold.

    Hello again crosado,

    as another lady said in her post cold sores are not STI s its a virus. Ive had it since i was a child my daughter got it from me. Stress, being sick brings out cold sores. The virus stays in our bodies and pops up now and then, its very common. I used a cold sore cream made by Nyal not sure if its available world wide, but there are lots of otc creams in chemists. It will go away, dont worry. Get some rest, look after yourself. X
