Campho-Phenique (camphor/phenol) "Campho-Phenique takes away the pain immediately. It helps dry my cold sores out and I'm able to get rid of a cold sore quite quickly, usually in under a week. I've used it for years for cold sores and it is really inexpensive. I use a gel that comes in a tube."

Campho-Phenique (camphor/phenol) "I have bronchitis now but when I was a child with a chest cold, my parents would sprinkle this product on a washcloth and lay it on the pillow next to my head. The vapors would relieve the congestion and inflammation in my wind pipes and give me the relief I needed to sleep. Recently, as an adult I had a similar infection and couldn't get the relief I needed to sleep. Had someone get me a bottle of Camphophenique and I tried it on a wash rag. Put my head under the covers with the wash rag next to my head near my nose. Worked exactly as it did when I was a child. The warm vapors opened my wind pipes and I was able to get the healing sleep I needed. Not an expensive product for the relief it can provide. Try it and see if it will help you and/or your child needs."

Campho-Phenique (camphor/phenol) "I've used this product for decades. Abreva and Releev always made my blisters much worse to the point I'd have to call in to work. As soon as I was introduced to Campho-Phenique, I never looked back. Also works wonders for mosquito bites."

Campho-Phenique (camphor/phenol) "The cold sore gel is absolutely amazing! The best medicine I've ever bought for a cold sore. Zero pain, irritation, or itching. I applied the medication shortly after it began forming and as long as I kept applying it, the skin wouldn't tear. It kept it moisturized. I'm so glad I chose this product!"

Campho-Phenique (camphor/phenol) "Campho-Phenique is the best medicine I've used for cold sores. I've had them all my life. I've tried Abreva, but it didn't work as well. Campho-Phenique, if I put it on at the first signs of tingling, it never forms a blister. I also use it as a lip moisturizer. It's also good for insect bites. I would recommend this product over the rest, and it's a lot easier on the wallet as well."
