A hot towel will not clear up a cold sore.
A cold sore is caused by the herpes simplex virus and will generally clear up in time. I did have one student in my classroom who kept picking at a cold sore and now has a scar in that area.
it depends how severe the cold sore is, personally the best remedy for me is mixing baking soda and a little bit of water to make a paste and applying it the sore it might burn but it will clear within 5 days and look better in 3.
it is mostly normal if he coughed a lot when he was sick
You can get a cold sore wet.
before penicillin ............ many people died of infections such as sore throat and diseases
That is not a very good drug for sore throat. You need to take penicillin or azithromycin.
A cold sore is a micro-organism.
A cold sore is caused by a virus.
Do not pop the cold sore; it can cause it to spread.
You should not give horses Penicillin for a cold, as a cold is caused by a virus and Penicillin is an Antibiotic and is not designed to treat a cold. You must let the cold run it's course, just like in a human.
Anyone, who comes into contact with the virus, can get a cold sore.
