You know how cold air feels really good on cold sores? Yeah, that's why ice-cubes help. If you want to get rid of a cold soar including the pain, you've got to remember NOT (super emphasis on the NOT) lick your lips where you have a cold soar! And of course (whichever way you choose) get oxygen to your poor lips and use that loveable ice-cube.

There are various products that are available at pharmacies to treat the symptoms of cold sores and make them less painful. Ask the pharmacist to assist you in selecting the products that would be best for your particular symptoms.
