I get these nasty cold sores like 3-5 times a year, I've been using abreva but is there anything better?

Question:

Answers:
I have gotten best answer several times for this:
Start icing as soon as you feel one coming on- at least for 1 hour
Use Campho-phenique often - I do it hourly
Apply white (non gel) toothpaste at bedtime.
I have tried everything and researched some crazy remedies. This is cheap, fast and effective.
Good Luck

Carmex

I'm not sure, but if I were you I'd go to my Dr and see if they can prescribe something to you so they won't show up at all. Good luck!

Dab with TEA TREE OIL. Reduce stress. Eat more high antioxident food. Fresh fruits and vegetables as little processing as possible.

It's a virus. You may get acyclovir from your Dr. to prevent break outs. It has to run it's course pretty much.

This could be herpes. You should see a doctor and get it properly diagnosed.

Ask your doc for a prescription. It is primarily the same thing used for Herpes . You take it on the first onset of a cold sore prior to the blister stage ,and it will stop it it's tracks. You take 2 pills 24 hours apart. I have two in my travelbag, two in my car and two at home.

Abreava is a great product if you into marketing.

This one is a no brainer so try it.

You could try carmex. It comes in a white small jar with a yellow top. This is simular to blistex but better. Cold sores will come out more when you are stressed.
