More 'Traditional' Cold Sore Remedies from Amazon

Many sufferers of cold sores and fever blisters rely on the more traditional creams and ointments for relief.

    Abreva and Zilactin are effective on how to get rid of a cold sore fast. It can also help prevent especially when applied at an earlier stage. Orajel and Anbesol, on the other hand, can help numb sore areas. Nice lens mate..

    I use a set of led light pads every day. They are not only powerful for skin and anti-aging but also promote the production of nitric oxide in the blood. This is phenominal for self healing. Wouldn't be without my light therapy- it is the future of medicine in my opinion- great lens!

    I have used tanning beds and the good old sun for years to help my eczema. The sun gives is the vitamin D3 and these light therapies are patterned after the sun. Amazing how we are told to stay out of the sun, yet given steroid creams which cause major addiction in some people like me. I used it all my life, mostly in the winter months and never knew I was addicted until I quit using it. I am now in my 6th month of terrible withdrawals and I wrote an article for Squidoo the other day about it. Thanks for the info.
