Abreva: Abreva is a safe over the counter topical treatment for cold sores.I find it works as well as most prescription products. Many large supermarkets with a drug counter or drug stores will carry this item.

Antiviral from Dr.: Your Dr can prescribe oral valtrex or another antiviral medication. Laser txs are also used to treat cold sores. Melissa Officinalis or lemon balm (cream) expedite healing of cold sores. It can reduce healing time by 1/2. Studies also show that regular use can help v recurrences. Brief supplementation w lysine 1,000mg orally 3 times a day at onset, can also hasten healing.
