Abreva or herpacin L, it starts working right away and mine last about 2-3 days. One trick is though make sure you keep applying...all the time!

I don't get cold sores, but my boyfriend does and I agree that Abreva would help, but you might also want to try getting a perscription from your doctor for Valtrex, the anti-Herpes pill. Most people don't know that cold sore/fever blisters are actually a strain of the Herpes virus. Be caureful when you have an outbreak because can be spread Herpes to others either through mouth-to-mouth contact or mouth-to-genital contact. Use an over-the-counter like Abreva, but also visit your doctor for additional treatment and to run an STD test. Good luck.
