Use vitamin E 400IU. Puncture a capsule and squeeze out the oil and cover the sore with it. Do this 3 times a day around the third/fourth application, you should no longer have the pain.

By the next day- the sixth/seventh application the cold sore should be about healed.

Prevention includes-Eat lots of yogurt with active culture and drink buttermilk they both have friendly bacteria that helps to fight off the virus.

I've had them all my life since I was 8 years old. I am now 55 . There is a prescription pill you can get to keep them away. Its taken daily. I take too many pills already at my age so I don't want it. Other than that, there are just over the counter gels. I found from experience though that when you use those gels they seem to last forever ( 3 weeks ). Its more painful but, when I don't use anything they go away a little faster.

Apply Herpilyn cream as directed.
Take 500-1000 mg of lysine on an empty stomach 2-3 times daily
Take a good multiple vitamin daily with food.

Yes. I get them too. They hurt. Most people get them because of stress. Others get them for other reasons, fever, upset stomach, etc. Most doctors say to take the protein L-Lysine to help deter the body from producing them or to help heal them. As far as a topical treatment, most apply Abreva (which cost around $16 for a tiny tube!).

I used to get them about once a month, but since I take Lysine once a day I maybe get once a year now!

Hope this helped!

Have a great day!

There is cold sore medicine over the counter at the drug store or pharmacy area of your grocery store. One for sure I know of is Abreva it is kind of expensive but it works fast. I also use Carmex medicated lip balm that also works but not as fast.

go to your family doctor and he will prescribe a cream.there is no quick fix for cold sores but the cream really works.

Lysine. Take 2 after each meal (your typical breakfast , lunch, dinner). This really does the trick for me when I get them.

It stings so very much, it brings tears to ones' eyes, but it's the only thing that works,~~~~~~~~put table salt on it!
