Who this consultation is for
Cold sores are a viral infection that causes painful lesions, usually around the lips or inside the mouth.
Common symptoms include itching, tingling and the appearance of blisters that rupture and form painful sores.
Cold sores are transmitted mainly through direct contact, such as kissing or touching the infected lesions.
Stress, sun exposure, fever and health problems can trigger outbreaks of cold sores.
There is no definitive cure for cold sores, but there are treatments to relieve symptoms and reduce recurrence.
Treatment can include antiviral ointments, painkillers and local care to speed up healing.
Avoiding trigger factors such as stress and sun exposure can help prevent outbreaks. Also, avoid direct contact with infected people during active outbreaks.
We offer you a Consultation service, where we use a questionnaire to quickly and safely create a personalised plan to deal with your situation.
Our doctors suggest and approve treatments in accordance with best practice in Portugal. This service is intended for non-urgent situations.
If you don't feel well, call 112 in urgent or emergency cases, or SNS 24 - 808242424 in non-urgent situations.
If you have any doubts about your health problem or treatment, we advise you to book an appointment with Telephone Consultation or Video Appointment.
