karenR answered Monday June 20 2005, 8:17 am: Go to the spice section of the grocery store. Or have mom do it. Buy some alum. It is a pickling spice and VERY sour. Stick your finger in the bottle and dab some on the cold sore. Remember it will be sour...you don't need a lot of it! It works wonders. And it is well worth a little sour taste to get rid of the cold sore. It really works. 9 x out of 10 it will be gone the next day. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Michele answered Sunday June 19 2005, 2:30 pm: Try L-Lysine 500mg. three times a day on an empty stomache. You can get L-Lysine in a vitamin store, health food store, even the pharmacy, Don't go cheap, you know store brand, get a name brand. Natures Way or Schiff. You can take it all the time if you like, and maybe they won't come back.
