If so, how much faster? and does putting ice on the sore for about 20 mins three times a day to freeze it do any good?

I used abreva a few times and it worked just like it said it should BUT then after a few times it made it WORSE!!! I get cold sores a lot and the best thing for them is this one kind of chapstick (sorry I dont even know the name) but its at target and its in a blue tube with a screwtop with the twisty thing at the top and its like $3. It says on the box that its for coldsores. I will never switch again. my doctor made me get medicine from her because last time I was at the doctor I had one, but I havent had to use it yet so I dont know how that will work, but I would just try the chapstick.

Does Abreva really help to speed healing time of a cold sore?

My husband gets cold sores all summer long, from the sun. He uses Abreva and it works great for him. As soon as he feels the burn of a cold sore coming on he starts applying the Abreva, about 4 times a day. If you catch it in time the cold sore won't even come out. If it does, try Campho Phinique.
Never heard of putting ice on it.

I find that if I apply campho phenique at the very first tingle on my lip and I think it may develop into a cold sore yes it does stop the actual sore from appearing. I have not tried abreva but I'm pretty sure this will work the same way.

I have never tried abreva but I used too get cole sores a couple times a year I heard about lysine and I tell you this stuff is fantastic. whenever I feel one comin on I start popping lysine like candy and it is usually gone by the next day. it doesn't even turn into a full sore. and since it's a vitamin, i haven't had one in a bout 5 years. My friend used to get them constantly and I told him about it and now he hasn't had one in a few years.

Try aloe vera. The real stuff, from the plant. Not that fake bottled crap.
