Use milk of magnesia. You can find this in grocery stores or pharmacies (Food Lion, Rite Aid, etc.). Shake well and put some on your cold sore using your finger. You should feel your cold sore start to throb a little and the milk of magnesia will dry after a few minutes. Since it is white, you should put on before you go to bed and wipe it off with a wet rag in the morning. Your cold sore should go away within a couple of days. Works really fast!

Basically, Cold Sore medicine just gets rid of the cold sore. Some products don't prevent them from coming back, so you may end up with one, but more keep coming and coming. The most important thing is when you have a cold soar to not overdo it with the chap stick. Try to use water and make sure your lips are always moist. in the morning, once during the day, and before you go to bed, apply a layer of chapstick over your lips. Try to keep your lips always most. By this time, your lips will have what they need to stay healthy.
