“I hate when I get cold sores. They are so embarrassing and so annoying! All I can think about when I have one is how to get rid of it.”

Cold sores are so annoying and so embarrassing. When you have one it’s all you can think about all day and all you want to do is pick at it. Don’t resort to buying expensive creams from the drug store when you can just use the ol’ faithful baking soda.

All you need to do is make a simple paste by mixing water and baking soda, and then dab it onto the cold sore. The baking soda will dry out the cold sore and flatten it on contact. It really can do anything and is a cost-effective solution.
