Ok. CALM DOWN! ok now breath in and out..thats right. OK, so to get rid of a cold sore do the following:



Unfortunately, attempting to camouflage a cold sore with makeup often aggravates the problem. Still, while you can't do much about the way a cold sore looks, you can do a few things to help decrease discomfort, speed healing, and keep it from coming back. You can even take steps to prevent passing on your cold sore to others. Here's how:

1. Cover cold sores with a protective petroleum-based product. This will speed healing and help protect it from secondary infection with bacteria.

2. Reach for aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Cold sores can be quite painful. Over-the- counter painkillers can help.

3. Avoid salty or acidic foods. Foods such as potato chips or citrus fruits can further irritate cold sores and add to the pain.

4. Apply an over-the-counter anesthetic. A local anesthetic ointment containing benzocaine can help numb the pain temporarily.

5. Consult your health-care provider. If you have frequent or severe cold sores, see your doctor. In some cases, an antiviral medication called acyclovir can be prescribed.

6. Protect your lips from the sun. Applying sunscreen to your lips may help prevent sun-induced recurrences of cold sores. Look for a sunscreen designed especially for the lips that has an SPF of 15 or higher. Or, choose a lipstick that contains sunscreen.

7. Keep it to yourself. Cold sores are extremely contagious. Avoid kissing and sharing cups, towels, or other such items. Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching cold sores. And take care not to touch your eyes or genitals immediately after touching cold sores.


-OK so hopefully that helps you! Good luck with that and have a great day at school! :D

Keep your hands off it. The virus can spread. Go to the store and ask the pharmacist to help you pick an OTC (over the counter) med that will help heal it. I know there is one called Abrevia that claims it helps quickly.

Take L Lysine. Ice helps to limit the size if it's still growing.

If it has not ruptured, put some plain toothpaste on it for about 30 minutes. The burning is the fluoride attacking.
And you will have fresh minty lip.

None of the home remedies work, waste of time.

Go to the doctor and get Denivir cream.
