Hi,I have a cold sore, which usually comes with mucus in my eyes so I cant see well, as I have now. I also have a new pain in the roof of my mouth and have developed a cough. Ive been taking lysine and ibuprofen, but am not getting better. Usually I can ride it out, but am getting worse. Is there anything I can do at home to help.Thanks,
**1. Going by your history: symptoms are worsening and not getting better, it requires an Examination with Oral Surgeon /Dentist/ [roof of mouth], ENT specialist [since cough has developed] to look for any hidden/underlying pathology, [oral hygiene, blood test for infection, appropriate X-ray], and so in the best Interest prior to have an appointment with them, at home, the case can be managed on the basis of tomtits. Avoid food that contain acid [citrus fruits], also nuts, chocolates. Stop Irritants like NSAIDs [painkillers]. Take a cotton swab and soak it in any type of raw liquor, press it directly on the sore for about 2 minutes. Eat ripe pomegranate. Mix honey in cold water and gargle with this [three times a day], or you may use mouth rinse with baking soda in it. Avoid: black gram, milk,yogurt, jaggery, Chat Doctor. .
