Compeed Cold Sore Patch review

Cold sores appear anytime, anywhere!

I recently tried Compeed Cold Sore Patches and must say they are quite good. I was reluctant at the start because I didn't think they would work, but I was surprised.

The Compeed pack has a mirror which makes it convenient and easy to apply anywhere. The patch does feel a little weird - like you've got sticky tape on your lips - but after a few minutes you get use to it and you wont even notice that it there.
My cold sore was pretty much gone in about 5 days.

The patch protects and heals the cold sore by reducing the redness, itching, scabbing and swelling that you normally get with a cold sore.Once you put the patch on it is hard to see the cold sore and you can easily apply lipstick over the patch, which is great.

Cold, tea and cough lollies anyone???

Ok so I love winter but for the last two weeks, I have had a dry cough that is slowly getting better. I have been drinking two cups of tea with honey, gone through like what seems like 100 cough lollies, soothers, butter menthols etc and keeping warm!

Resting is my best friend at the moment - I have been lazing away all day watching repeats of Friends and eating. So my tips to beating the winter cold are:

Rest up - dont stress
Drink lots of tea/water - best to keep hydrated
Lozenges are great to help soothe the throat
Eat your greens - good food helps to recover the body quicker
