- For a natural remedy try tea tree oil at full strength. It should be gone within 1 or 3 days. Apply directly 3 or 4 times a day until cold sore diminishes. Also, try not to ingest to much via licking your lips, etc. It won't hurt you if you do ingest it in such small amounts, but it may not taste the best. Reapply after eating.
You can find tea tree oil at most health food or natural coop stores.
Hope this helps,

If you get them repeatedly you could get valtrex from your doctor, but that won't really help this episode much. Don't worry too much, 80% of the country has the virus that causes it.0% 0 Votes
