Cold Sore Remedies

Ice cubes

Perhaps the simplist of all cold sore remedies consists of holding an ice cube directly against a freshly erupted cold sore for 45 minutes. You may not need a full 45 minutes, but the length of time is important, so to try to begin treatment at the very first sign of the cold sore.

Lysine

Good cold sore remedies also include lysine. Take one 1500 milligram tablet each morning and the cold sores should begin to dry up after the second or third day.
