Can Stancort be used for the treatment of cold sores?

Dr. Braj Bhushan Ojha BAMS , Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ayurveda, Sexology, Diabetology

No, Stancort cannot be used for the treatment of cold sores. There is a dearth of good literature on Stancort's efficacy for cold sores. Cold sores appear as blisters around the mouth. These are usually caused by Herpes simplex virus. These can be managed by using a lemon balm, over-the-counter anti-viral medications, ice, aloe vera, sunscreen, etc. You should follow your doctor's advice completely.
