Somebody came with this type of sore & asked me "doctor, pls, which antimalarial should I take for these blisters? @aproko_doctor@trending_medic
Pls, COLD SORES ARE NOT CAUSED BY MALARIA, so pls, stop abusing anti-malarial medication when u have a cold sore.
Do not also waste ur time & money in getting antibiotics, bcos it will not work for it.
There are drugs that ur doctor can give u that would help it heal faster.
