Ice won't help much with this problem. Keeping the scabs moist will work better than ice.
In the future, if you feel the "tingle" that signals a cold sore coming on, get yourself a bottle of L-Lysine from a drug store or health foods store. 500mg per tablet is good. Take 2 tablets right away. From there on out, take 1 tablet 3 times a day for about 5 days.
L-Lysine is a water soluble amino acid and an overdose is improbable.

Get some nutrition E pills - those with oil in them - and placed the oil on as frequently as available. in the shape you get it on your pillow once you're sound asleep, do not worry, it will wash out. it will make the chilly sore heal right now. This works with any type of sore or blemish. in case you get those frequently, you'll get a prescription for Valtrex (it really is offered in commonly used, too). this is actual a herpes drugs yet a lot of persons use it for chilly sores. purely be particular to take the first dose once you first sense that tingle.

No it probably makes it spread. Go get the stuff at the super market. I don't remember what it is called but it is a brown liquid. It works wonders! Instant relief!
