What can i do to get a cold sore to heal faster its painful?

Topical agents: Once a cold sore ruptures, it is painful. Use topical ointments to moisturize the area, preferably one with a topical anesthetic in it. Some topical agents specific for cold sores (herpes simplex) are anti-viral in nature and can reduce the contagious period.

Options: 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. Your physician can prescribe oral valtrex (valacyclovir). Laser treatments are also used to treat cold sores.
