A member asked:
What would you do to get rid of a cold sore overnight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
