I am eight weeks pregnant and developing a coldsore. Can I take anything? I usually take Famvir when one starts to develop. What else can I do to stop it?

There is medication that you can take while your pregnant so I would assume there is cold sore remedies too.  Go speak to the pharmacist.  With medications you are only allowed take category A tablets while pregnant so I would check with your pharmacist before you use anything you may have at home
