Don't use ice it will blister, use a tea bag, as hot as you can stand it it will make the swelling go down and take some of the sting out of it. Abreava is a great OTC treatment, expensive but worth it.

I agree with Carli, don't put ice on it. Abreva seems to be the best over the counter medicine that I have found. It won't make the blisters go away over night, but it does help speed up the healing process.

Also, in the winter months or when I am going through a stressful time, I used to break out with fever blisters all the time. Now I take L-Lysine to help prevent the blisters. I don't get them very often now. Just go to your pharmacy and find the vitamin and take as directed.

swish with, and drink, a glass of whole milk mixed with a spoonful of honey.

Then, eat an apple to balance your alimentary canal.

Or, vica versa.
