For those who have tried remedies and they only made them worse, I would recommend Denavir cream. It’s a prescription, so you would need to see a doctor to get it, but it’s worth it. I’ve tried so many treatments, natural remedies(including L-Lysine), prescriptions, but they all made the cold sores 10x worse! Denavir work’s amazingly! As soon as I get a cold sore I put it on and within hours I could barely notice I had them.

I get cold sores alot and every time I try a medicine specifically for cold sores they get BIGGER and increase in number. I never had more than 2 until I used abreva and then my WHOLE mouth broke out I went to the Dr one time with only one on my lip and she gave me a pill and the next morning there were 5.. after that I realized that the medications have the opposite effect on me so I stopped looking for a medicinal remedy and went with just leaving it alone.. most times if i keep it dry it dries up and disappears, but then there are the ones that are just determined to stay around. I tried ice.. I think it works good.. the swelling goes down, it feels better, and the cold sore leaves sooner, not quickly, but sooner than it normally would. I get them about every 2-3 months… its getting really annoying.

Also Drink plenty of Water to flush out toxins. ice works very well. Peroxide draws out the impurities if it is already oozing

After the cold sore has dried, you can put Vitamin E oil or the oil from a Vitamin E capsule. The oil helps the cold sore to heal and keeps it from cracking.

I’m sorry that should say Neosporin LT, the LT is for lip treatment. It’s first aid for lips. Works great.

Nesporin LP (Lip treatment) works really great. Ice is also a great one when you feel it coming on

Alcohol works wonders! The more you apply it the quicker it will disappear.

The minute you feel a fever blister coming on, take strong laxative. Works every time.

So far I’ve put on a cold sore cream, tea tree oil (which actually made it swollen and grow) and now I’m trying bleach. If the bleach doesn’t start to work then its on the lemon juice/garlic/salt concoction, and toothpaste before bed!
