Is there a medication/creme I can use other than Zovirax that can prevent the outbreak of blisters on my lips? Zovirax takes too long to clear them up. Please email me with any replies at: lynnoelofse52@hotmail.com
Thanks and looking forward to any replies!!!

Yeah my hubby has that problem in the summer. He works outside. There is a OTC med called Abreva it does okay. But he prefers the script Denavir it worked so much better for him. Makes them almost gone in a day!

I REALLY wanted you to know that you can EASILY never have to deal with another horrible, awful, nasty cold-sore for the rest of your life!!
I got them every winter my whole life until 3 years ago (I'm 36 now) and they were the BANE of my existence...the whole process took weeks to heal and would leave a scar for at least 2 months sometimes!
I was reading a message board on www.curezone.org and discovered the PERFECT remedy for both healing them and preventing them completely:
OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT
http://curezone.com/foods/oliveleaf.html...
So, I buy the liquid tincture by "HerbPharm" and it has not failed me ONCE...Whenever I'm feeling drained, tired, stressed, or get that tingly feeling on my lip, I just load up on this stuff.
This is the one I buy: http://www.myvitanet.com/olleafex1ozh.ht...
You can also get Olive Leaf at Whole Foods Market, and other natural food stores.
Very cheap.
The first time I tried it, I was actually halfway into a major eruption and I drank a bunch of the extract in some water.
AS I WAS DRINKING the stuff down, I could feel the swelling on my lip shrinking...I was in such shock--I ran to the mirror--it was shrinking before my eyes and within ten minutes my lip had returned to NORMAL...I began kissing the bottle of Olive Leaf...yeah, I really did!!
I had tried everything in the past...I can't begin to tell you the WARS I had with these evil sores!
Well, I can finally say: I WON !!!

Use a high SPF lip balm and wear it, apply repeatedly during the day. There is an over the counter cream called abreva that if you apply atthe first tingle of a cold sore makes it go awy really fast 2-3 days. But prevention is the best mediciine.. High PR lip balm throough ot the day.

There are pills called Valtrex. I used to get horrible cold sores....on my NOSE!! Sick huh?? They work like a charm. You can take them to prevent cold sores or for a couple days when you feel one coming. Ask your doc. You'll never get a cold sore again.
