Answer 1

There is only one treatment that gets rid of cold sores quickly, and that is the prescription medication Valtrex.  It is too late for it to work with this cold sore, so it will have to run its course.  If you have already had it for 3 days, it should be completely gone within another week.

Many of us already have the cold sore virus dormant in our bodies, and never have a flare up of cold sores.  We contracted it as children, as it is a very common virus, and children pick it up easily as they often share food and drinks, and may be less concerned about hand washing and hygiene.   Cold sores can be transmitted even when the person does not have a cold sore, though it is less likely to happen then.  

There is no over-the-counter medication or home remedy that cures cold sores.  Only time will take care of that.  But there is a good prescription medication for cold sores.  It will make them go away much faster, and as a result of taking this medication you will have far fewer outbreaks of cold sores.

The absolute best treatment for cold sores is a prescription medication in pill form called Valtrex.  It was intended for genital herpes, but cold sores are caused by the same family of viruses, and Valtrex stops colds sores in their tracks.  None of the other treatments come close to the effectiveness of Valtrex, not the ointment Zovirax, and certainly not Abreva or anything else.  Ask your doctor about it to see if you would be a good candidate for this medication.  My doctor prescribed it for me for cold sores about five years ago and after taking it only a couple of times I hardly ever get a cold sore any more, and before Valtrex I was having several attacks a year.  On the rare occasions that I do get one now, it is gone almost immediately when I take the medication - in about a day.    In the meantime, here are a couple of informative links.

Answer 4

you take an amino acid which you buy at the chemist called Lysine

It is fantastic.  Because the cold sore virus depletes that amino acid in the body you need to restore it continuously, so have a few tablets every week when you get rid of it to stop having them all together but because you have them already have 2 tablets day and night for the next 3 days and it should shrink it drastically

Answer 5

Abreva. Sold at drug stores & grocery stores. Never had one, but know people who do get them and this is what they use. Talk to pharmacist if possible to ask advice.  

Answer 6

Try Manuka honey. Buy the highest strength you can afford. Brilliant stuff!!
