Well when you feel a cold sore coming on then you put ice on it to prevent it from becoming any bigger
they have some pretty good medicines at walgreens but they are pretty spendy, i use carmex and it seems to work pretty good as long as you catch it early on...

Carmex works the best even at the first feeling of a little tingle. It has camphor in it which helps the healing and is also wonderfull for regular chapped lips. It soaks in your lips and doesn't just coat like other chapped lip sticks. Most stores sell it for about $1. Try looking at the checkout lines for it. Hope it helps.

ice works as well as go buy the medication abreva. its kind of expensive ($18 i think) for a little tube, but the last time i had a cold sore, that medicine cleared it up in no time along with the ice!

Lots of Lysine, a vitamin/nutrient from a health food store.

You're going to think it's gross, but it worked for me. I haven't had one since. Put your ear wax on it when you feel it coming up. It will go away. My nephew got them all the time. Tried every medication out there. He tried the ear wax and hasn't had one since.

Honey works the best.
