How can you get rid of a cold sore in your mouth?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They self heal: Cold sores usually self resolve in 14 days. However, there are some over the counter ointments that help cover the sores and make them less painful. A couple of these are canker and zilactin.

Home medics: They are usually viral in nature, antiviral ointments might speed up healing like zophirax and abreeva..
