Lysine?: Cures are difficult. Palliative treatment (less pain while healing) include otc's like zylactin, herpecin. If cold sores are frequent and debilitating, your doctor can prescribe preventative medicines. Staying healthy helps cold sores heal faster. Some believe lysine helps.

No fast cure: There are no "cures" for cold sores. However, some home remedies reported in medical literature to make them go away that you could try are: aloe vera gel, cornstarch paste and tea or mint leaves. See what works for you. I hope this helps.
