Managing Cold Sores
Cold sores are a common condition that many Australians experience. Caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), they often appear around the lips as small blisters that can be painful or uncomfortable. While outbreaks may be unpredictable, cold sores are manageable. With the right treatment, symptoms can be reduced, and healing times improved.
If you’re experiencing frequent cold sore outbreaks, Burst Health can help.

Does Cold Sore Medication Work?
Yes. Cold sore treatments can be highly effective when started early in the outbreak cycle. Prescription antiviral medications work by slowing the virus’s ability to replicate, which may:
- Reduce healing time
- Lessen the severity of symptoms
- Shorten the duration of an outbreak
- Prevent future outbreaks when taken preventively
It's important to begin treatment as soon as you notice early symptoms like tingling or itching. In some cases, regular preventive therapy may be recommended — especially if you experience frequent or severe outbreaks.
Your Burst Health practitioner will help determine the right treatment approach based on your medical profile.
Note: All prescriptions are provided following a proper assessment by a licensed healthcare professional.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Cold Sores
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which is highly contagious and typically transmitted through close contact. Once infected, the virus stays in your system and can reactivate, causing future outbreaks.
Cold sores often begin with tingling, itching, or burning around the lips, followed by the appearance of small fluid-filled blisters. These may burst and crust over before healing, usually within 7–10 days.
Managing cold sores at home includes keeping the area clean, avoiding touching or picking the sore, and applying protective lip balms. However, prescription treatments are often needed to reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks.
When prescribed by a qualified practitioner, cold sore medications are generally safe and well-tolerated. Your Burst Health provider will assess your health history to ensure treatment is appropriate for you.
Most users complete their online consultation in minutes. If approved, your medication is dispatched promptly — typically arriving within a few business days.
