Answers:
Safest and by far the best medicine available for cold sores: Abreva from your local Wal-Mart (most economical price found there ... about $13 a tube) and it is over-the-counter.
Best prevention: in addition to a daily Lysine supplement of which you can get from Wal-Mart in the vitamin section is a tube of sunblock chapstick and apply it anytime you go out in the sun ... sunshine is the number one catalyst to activate cold sores. The best medicine is prevention ... I used to get cold sores once or twice a month ... now I use Lysine supplements and lip block and haven't had one in nearly two years now, and I have used prescriptions and about everything known for cold sores... nothing helped much ... that is until I learned about using sunblocking chapstick ... it is the best prevention tool available and it needs to be SPF 30 or greater.
