Yes I get the same problem. Unfortunately I haven't found a solution yet-but you are not alone. Hope you have a great Christmas.

Self-care
Cold sores generally clear up without treatment. In the meantime, the following steps may provide relief:
* Use creams. Over-the-counter (OTC) creams can provide comfort, but don't expect them to speed healing.
* Take an OTC pain reliever. These include aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others). But don't give aspirin to children. Aspirin may trigger a rare but potentially fatal disorder known as Reye's syndrome.
* Use cold or heat. Try applying ice or warm compresses to the blisters to ease the pain.
* Let it heal. Avoid squeezing, pinching or picking at any blister.

Treating Cold Sores
For most kids, the sores go away on their own without any special treatment from a doctor. If you get a cold sore, try holding some ice wrapped in cloth on the sore. It also might help to eat a popsicle.
Sometimes, if the cold sores are making a kid sick, a doctor may prescribe a special medicine that fights the herpes simplex virus. Some kids may take acetaminophen or ibuprofen if their sores are painful.
While you're waiting for the cold sore to go away, wash your hands regularly and don't pick at it. You'll only get in the way of your body's natural healing process. Picking at a cold sore is also bad news because it's easy to spread the virus to other parts or your body, like your fingers or eyes. Worse yet, you might spread the virus to other people. No one will thank you for giving them a cold sore!

I had that, it took forever to go. I went to the doctors in the end and they prescribed fucidin. I think it is an antibiotic cream and it cleared up in a couple of days.
It's worth mentioning that you must be run down and could do with some high does vitamin c and a multi vitamin

I had one for 6 months. My doctor didn't give me a prescription. He told me to go to the grocery store and get Udder Cream. It comes in a black and white tube (looks like cow patterns). I used it and a few days later it was gone. Now I use it on a daily basis to protect from wind burn. I swear by it.

I'm sure I heard that stress can cause a cold sore to flare up, so maybe take things easy and relax more.

vaseline applied on the cold sore will lubricate it and it wont split or crack when u eat or smile so easily, giving it a better chance of healing properly.
