"Clever Trick to Vanish Cold Sores Quickly, Revealed by Doctor"
Dr. Michael, a popular TikTok doctor, shared a cost-effective trick to help cold sores disappear faster by using lysine capsules, which block the substance that fuels the herpes virus behind the sores. Lysine, an amino acid found in meat, fish, dairy, and eggs, can also be purchased in capsule form for $7.99 at CVS. Dr. Michael recommends taking no more than three 1000 milligram tablets per day, but advises those with chronic medical conditions to consult their doctor before taking any supplement. Other over-the-counter remedies include ibuprofen and prescription antiviral medications like acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir, as recommended by the CDC.
