I just got one this morning...so is it realistic to expect it to be gone by friday night? If so, what is the best medicine out there for quick relief? And how long is it contageous for? Thanks in advance.

The very best medication is called Abreva. It works really fast, like 2 days. It is now sold over the counter and can be bought at WalMart and big pharmacies. It is sirt of expensive (maybe $15.00) but it's worth it. This medicine used to be available by prescription only. I promise nothing works faster.

I think all the over the counter topical creams are the same.But I am about to let you on a wonderful preventive.It's a vitamin It's called lysine .You can get it anywhere.I swear it works !! I didn't really believe it but I use to get them all the time.I take these and have not had one since.Give it a try you will be amazed.
They are contageous till they start to dry.

To be thoroughly undemanding, I study a piece of writing that led me to attempt an ICE cube. that's it! notice an ice cube to the sore some circumstances an afternoon and it is going away. Going even further, in case you alter your eating regimen around slightly, you will no longer even get chilly sores anymore. i attempted this suggestion some months in the past and it has labored completely.

Do not kiss anyone when you have outbreaks. Do not share drinking cups and eating utensils. There are OTC medicine at the store for coldsores. In Asia we put colgate toothpaste on it.

it won't be gone by friday; do yourself a favor and don't touch it. use abreva, it's expensive but speeds up healing.

it is contagious even if it is gone.
neem oil is a great treatment and so is atomidine. both work really fast. (2 or 3 days)
