Getting rid of a cold sore on the lip??? :( ?

Carmex!!!!!!

At walmart, walgreens, rite aid, anywhere!

If you get them continuously, go to the doctor, they can prescribe the good stuff.

Use Blistex medicated ointment. It works wonders on cold sores.

lilpinkc..., definitely with a chainsaw. No, just kidding!!! I'd squeeze it. Good luck!!!

There is no over-the-counter medication or home remedy that cures cold sores. Only time will take care of that. But there is a good prescription medication for cold sores. It will make them go away much faster, and as a result of taking this medication you will have far fewer outbreaks of cold sores.

The absolute best treatment for cold sores is a prescription medication in pill form called Valtrex. It was intended for genital herpes, but cold sores are caused by the same family of viruses, and Valtrex stops colds sores in their tracks. None of the other treatments come close to the effectiveness of Valtrex, not the ointment Zovirax, and certainly not Abreva or anything else. Ask your doctor about it to see if you would be a good candidate for this medication. My doctor prescribed it for me for cold sores about five years ago and after taking it only a couple of times I hardly ever get a cold sore any more, and before Valtrex I was having several attacks a year. On the rare occasions that I do get one now, it is gone almost immediately when I take the medication - in about a day. In the meantime, here are a couple of informative links.

the carmex brand gel type chapstick really helps

to get rid of mine, i usually gargle with salt water and keep carmex on it at all times. Abreva is supposed to work as well.

Try Lip Balm
Any can work. But try to get one without flavor or scent.


AND STAY AWAY FROM SWEETS AND SALTY STUFF!!

they make it worse!!

Hope this helps. :)

take lysine tablets and! anbesol for it!
