Answers:
Ice and rubbing alcohol do not help cold sores. The best way to get a cold sore to go away is using Valtrex and Abreva. You need a prescription for Valtrex, but you can get Abreva at most pharmacies. The key is early detection. You need to take the Valtex as soon as you feel the outbreak coming on (even if it's just a tingle, take the medicine) and apply Abreva several times a day. I have been using this method for about 3 years and it works. I haven't had a cold sore fully develop into a sore sense I started this. They usuall are gone completely within 3 days. Good luck.
Get some abesol and alum(spice isle). First put the abesol on to numb it and then put the alum on. It will sting and taste nasty. Do not swallow.

Do this for a few days until you see it almost gone.

Good Luck!
I have found the VERY best way to eliminate cold sores from ever returning! This is the very best advise anyone EVER gave me. Go to the health food store or GNC. Purchase L-lysine. It may cost about $6.00 or so. Take two tablets twice daily. You can treat the cold sore with some tea tree oil (also found in health food stores) topically. I PROMISE you if you use the L-lysine you will not get the sores back....Use the L-lysine for approximately one- two weeks. Even when the sore is gone, continue taking the L-lysine for the 1-2 weeks. This is also effective for warts!
I agree with Mattie. For a natural remedy use L-lysine, she gave you a good answer.
Dunno about that, but its a fact eating chocolate or beans makes them worse and eating chicken or turkey helps to reduce them. Someting to do with the natural chemicals in them
