Not overnight.: Laser treatments can be fastest. Your physician can prescribe oral Valtrex (valacyclovir) or another antiviral medication. Melissa Officinalis or lemon balm (cream) expedites healing of cold sores. It can reduce healing time by half. Studies also show that regular use can help v recurrences. Brief supplementation with lysine 1,000mg orally three times a day at the onset, can also hasten healing.

Unlikely: There really is no magical cure once a cold sore breaks out. You can try otc products like abbreva, or see your dermatologist who can prescribe oral or topical medications. You may find prevention more effective and you can discuss this approach with your doctor.
