How do you rid yourself of a ....?

Question

cold sore..

Thank you all so much for any help.

Answer 1

I get cold sores 2 times a year. In february and in August. I NEVER USE ABREVA. It makes it last alot longer. It keeps in very moist. I think the key to making them go away is to keep it as dry as possible. I will usually put a little salt on it a couple of times a day. And I also take the vitamin lysine. Lysine is proven to help prevent and to make cold sores go away faster. If i take it every day I don't get them but sometimes I forget.
