Researchers recommend people treat a cold sore as quickly as possible to minimize the amount of time the virus is actively traveling through a person's nervous system. The faster a cold sore is treated, the faster the HSV1 returns to a dormant stage.

What's the treatment? Acyclovir at $5 a pop?

How does one treat a cold sore? I get them and nothing seems to help.

I've had good luck with Abreva if I manage to apply it to the site at the first tingling feeling. Once the sore has 'erupted' it's much too late for Abreva.
