Buy Abreva to get rid of your cold sore asap. The first sign you see it, you rub it on over and over. Don't pick at it and it will disappear in a few days. Without any treatment, the cold sore can stay at least a week and more. A few days (like 3) is asap.

A cold sore or a canker sore?
People are constantly getting them confused.
A canker sore is a ulcer in your mouth. It's an open sore with a flatish white top. They happen on the soft tissue inside the mouth, the inside of the lips, tougue and check. Canker sores are NOT contagious! Period. They aren't.
The best way to get ride of a canker sore is to rise the area with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. It's depends on the strength of the solution, but normally it's 3 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide. That works wonders.
Cold sores, on the other hand, are small red blisters that generally affect gums and lips and around the mouth on the face. Cold sores are extremely contagious and are most often caused by the Herpes virus. If this is what you have, you should have seen a doctor by now. They should prescribe medication for you.

Aghhhh cold sores! I hate them.
Unfortunately, attempting to camouflage a cold sore with makeup often aggravates the problem.
Cover cold sores with a protective petroleum-based product. This will speed healing and help protect it from secondary infection with bacteria.
Avoid salty or acidic foods. Foods such as potato chips or citrus fruits can further irritate cold sores and add to the pain.
Consult your health-care provider. If you have frequent or severe cold sores, see your doctor. In some cases, an antiviral medication called acyclovir can be prescribed.
Remember - Keep it to yourself. Cold sores are extremely contagious. Avoid kissing and sharing cups, towels, or other such items. Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching cold sores. And take care not to touch your eyes or genitals immediately after touching cold sores.
Hope it goes away in time.
