Answers:

If you just feel it coming on - that tingle - put some ice on it. Do it right away - that may stop the eruption. Ice it every ten minutes for an hour. Oranges (or any other acidic food) is a bad idea because they can actually cause a cold sore eruption. Do NOT take aspirin if you are under 18 - cold sores are a form of the herpes virus, same as chicken pox, and aspirin can react with that virus in young people to cause a rare but dangerous condition called Reyes Syndrome. If it is painful, try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead.
