Abreva - works really fast, especially if you start applying when you can feel the tingle of the sore.

Abreva works the best. Put it on every two hours or so. Wash hands afterwards!
In the Uk Zovirax and Viralief work amazingly well too. Make sure you are taking some vitamin c or multivitamins coz cold sores come out when your immune system is run down.

Abreva is extremely effective. I've used it when I've had a really, really bad cold sore, and it helped it go away twice as fast as normal. Good luck!

Use Abreva. It works in a couple days if applied liberally. Strategic makeup and darker lipsticks can help hide it if it's still there by the weekend.

It's going to go through about five stages of healing, there's nothing that's going to change it so, be patient. Keep something like Carmex on it to sooth it, don't chew on it let it heal.
