Considering the fact that people cannot get rid of cold sore permanently, this seems to be a rather serious skin condition. Also, it is important to know that this skin condition may be transmitted from one person to the other if certain measures of precaution are not taken. Traditional remedies that are based on herbs and natural substances may be used both in the prevention and the treatment of cold sore fever blister.

Cornstarch paste, for example, seems to relieve the symptoms when it is applied on the blisters. DMSO or dimethyl sulfoxide is a chemical substance that needs to be applied on the sores two times a day with a cotton ball. This substance is able to disrupt the development of the viral infection, by taking action exactly in the center of the area that is infected….. 

Camphor may also be applied on the sores with a cotton ball. This substance is used in the treatment of many skin conditions and cold sore fever blister is only one of them.

Grapefruit seed extract seems to be very effective in the treatment of oral herpes, especially when mixed with olive oil or aloe Vera. This extract seems to be very powerful, so patients need to pay attention when applying it. Ice cubes or ice bags may be rubbed or pressed against the cold sore fever blister in order to stop the viral infection from spreading to other zones of the body. More than that, the ice cubes may also help with relieving the pain. Heat, in form of warm compresses or used tea bags seems to have similar effects.

All these remedies are appreciated for the fact that they are natural and that they do not lead to complications as the conventional drugs do. It does not matter how much of a natural substance people consume, the risk of overdose is very low.
