I have two cold sores, one in each corner of my mouth. They scab over but every time I eat they split open which is very sore. This is the first time I have had these. What is the best thing to get rid of them please? I have had them just over a week now.

If your cold sores are still active, the natural remedy we would recommend is Bio-Propolis cold sore ointment which can be used at every stage of the infection.

If your cold sores have resolved, you may wish to read our page on how to prevent or treat cold sores should you have the misfortune to be troubled by them again.
