My girlfriend is getting cold sores from citric acid. What is the best medicine to take to act fast?

Question:

Answers:
On the contrary, you can get cold sores from a food related allergy. I too am allergic to citric acid, and I've tried everything. My doctor prescribes valtrex to make the sores go away, and also denavir(sp), but they can also be managed by taking lysine supplements daily. I use all three, and I've not had any problems since.

Other Answers:
you do not get coldsores from food they are a human to human thing they can only be caught from someone who has had one not from food

try over the counter stuff first. That's stuff you can find in the pharmacy without a proscription. Ask your pharmacists. drink lemon balm tea then apply the tea bags or strainings to the sores. cold sores are a form of herpes, but don't panic. you can also add 2-4 teaspoons of lemon balm to one cup of boiling water and apply it with a cotton ball or q-tip several times a day.
