You shouldn't it may not be as affective as it was before it expired, if you have had the zovirax for a long time then you don't know what else could have happened to it. Get your self a fresh tube to be on the safe side.

Can fluorouracil cream be used for cold sores?

Can post kidney transplant patient get cold sores?

Yes, you can still get cold sores. Luckily, they're normally no worse than if you had them pre-transplant. Just stick some Zovirax on the cold sore to treat it (Zovirax contains the antiviral Aciclovir, which is the typically used anti-viral for all herpes infections.) As Zovirax is applied topically, it should not interact with any of your other medication. This should usually stop the cold sore from developing, and aid healing, however if in doubt always see your GP/consultant.

What could it be if you have small red bumps covering both lips and they are not blisters but started out in one spot and quickly spread to cover both lips?

This could be herpes simplex .... a cold sore. Try Zovirax and chat to your pharmacist. He/she ought to be able to diagnose whether it is a cold sore. The fact that it is spreading sounds to me like the herpes virus.
