i have a cold sore. it hurts sooooo bad, and it's made my lip so huge and puffy. and i can't talk, and i can only eat liquids from a straw because i cant open my mouth far enough. i am seriously in tears because it hurts so bad and everyone keeps making fun of me saying i have herpes and stuff, and it really hurts my feelings. but what im more worried about is the pain and puffiness. how do i at least make it stop hurting as much, and if possible can i make it smaller over night. please help me, it hurts so bad.

a pickling spice. It is a powder. It is
also VERY sour. But it will fix you up
overnight. Just a little dab on the cold
sore. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
