How do you get rid of coldsores?

Answer 1

Increase your intake of Vitamin C Maybe but that sounds more prevention. Blot with bleach and it doesnt hurt your skin. The virus will be dead in it's tracks Better yet,

"Cold sore" might refer to any number of lesions. See a doctor. If you then know you have a "cold sore" caused by the herpes virus try lysine. Lysine inhibits the growth of the herpes virus. If the "cold sore" is caused by this strain of virus, lysine will cause the sore to heal very quickly if your immune system is working "normally". Lysine can be purchased almost anywhere in tablet form. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BOTTLE. It is an essential amino acid. L-arginine, another amino acid present in large quantities in coffee and peanut butter (among other foods), encourages the growth of the herpes virus. Stop drinking coffee, and don't eat peanuts or peanut butter until your cold sore is gone. Afterwords, don't over-indulge in peanuts or coffee. Apply carmex liberally and wait for it to heal.

Cold sore? I'm afraid it's viral and will just have to go away on its own.
MAYBE swish your mouth with salt water a few times a day. you can take a glass a water, put a few pinches on salt it and swish away! good luck.

Answer 2

Use milk of magnesia, you can find this in grocery stores or pharmacies (Food Lion, Rite Aid, etc.). Shake well and put some on your cold sore using your finger. You should feel your cold sore start to throb a little and the milk of magnesia will dry after a few minutes. Since it is white, you should put on before you go to bed and wipe it off with a wet rag in the morning. Your cold sore should go away within a couple of days. Works really fast!
