Quick cold sore remedies!?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Wet a cube of ice so it does not burn your skin. Hold this wet ice on the cold sore for as long as you can. The herpes virus will not live in this environment. Also, keep your immune system up to scratch. Eat well and live stress free, if that is possible in this world... Take care... Carole

Find out what causes yours.
I get them from orange juice and I'm allergic to most chapsticks and lip glosses. I figured it out withou a Dr and I don't get them no more. Ice helps with swelling and if you have camfonic (sp) its in green bottle helps. Do not do nail polish I learned the hard way. Just put ice on it and don't touch it! It will only make it worse. I would keep ice on it for least 30 minutes before bed

you need the amino acid called L-Lysine. It's a supplement you can by in any good health store and is a herpes fighting supplement. Either take one a day or 3 a day when you first feel one coming out.

pour peroxide on it. it will dry it out. (several times per day). the other answers you got are really not good. or healthy really

Abreva. "quick" for a cold sore is like four days. I also heard toothpaste works, but definitely abreva. also, don't pick at it and when it scabs over, let the scab stay there. It's gross but it will heal a lot quicker. If you're embarrassed about it, it might help to make jokes about it before anyone else brings it up or say you got punched in the face by a homeless person or something. ANYWAY Abreva haha.
