How do you get rid of a cold sore in a day?

In: Health, Conditions and Diseases, Cold Sores [Edit categories]

Answer:

Strange remedy i got from adapting info from the Internet.
Wash hands before touching cold sores, or you can infect them.
1. Clean flannel in hot and soapy water (hotter the better). Gently hold over cold sores, but don't rub too hard or you'll irritate them.
2. Wash hands thoroughly.
3. Small dab of bio oil on sore - try to use different fingers for multiple sores, or you'll just spread the infection.
4. Large blob of petroleum jelly on sores, working from outward in (so you don't spread them).
5. Wash hands thoroughly.
6. DON'T TOUCH OR ITCH.
7. Wait 1 or 2 hours.
8. Repeat.
Smile :)
