I get this cold sore?
Ive had this cold sore at the side of my mouth and ive had it for in the region of 2 months now, its really annoying and ive already tried Carmex and it doesnt do anything, what should i do?
Answer: There is no over-the-counter medication or home remedy that cures cold sores. Only time will take trouble of that. But there is a good prescription medication for cold sores. It will generate them go away much faster, and as a result of taking this medication you will have far a lesser amount of outbreaks of cold sores.
The absolute best treatment for cold sores is a prescription medication in pill form call Valtrex. It was intended for genital herpes, but cold sores are caused by like family of viruses, and Valtrex stops colds sores surrounded by their tracks. None of the other treatments come close to the effectiveness of Valtrex, not the ointment Zovirax, and indubitably not Abreva or anything else. Ask your doctor about it to see if you would be a good runner for this medication. My doctor prescribed it for me for cold sores about five years ago and after taking it only a couple of times I just about ever get a cold sore any more, and before Valtrex I be having several attacks a year. On the rare occasion that I do get one now, it is gone almost on the double when I take the medication - in just about a day. In the meantime, here are a couple of informative links.

There's a product called Herpecin. You might try that. It's available over the counter. I've used it near excellent results. Carmex doesn't work for all people. Lysine is supposed to aid..
you could try abreva
