"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"
