In my personal experience, those store bought things they sell, such as Abrevia, do not work at all! The only thing that has ever worked for me is actually not what you may expect. There is a set of vitamins that you can buy online called "Visalus". In the various vitamins they sell people, there is this one called "Vimunity". I take that when I get a cold sore, and it's usually gone within two days instead of the usual four to seven days. Also, "Vimunity" is a great vitamin for boosting the immune system, which shortens the life of all kinds of other things, such as the common cold. As a matter of fact, I start taking it if I just get a sore throat, which is usually the first sign of a cold for me, and after just one or two days of taking the vitamin, I no longer have a sore throat and I do not get sick! Pretty cool huh? Also, you should probably keep your cold sore moist while you have it. Use petroleum jelly or carmex or something. It'll help with the pain if you don't let it dry out. Good luck!!!!
