I think most of us have had a cold sore at least once in our lives. My oldest son has lived with this problem since he was a child. He is thirty one now, and he still has the problem. I have researched on this problem now for many years. I have found several things that help, but not completely cure them. Then I stumbled on a few that really do a good job on them. Actually, I have found three things that make a world of difference.

The first one is Abreva if you use it at the first sign of it, usually in about three to five days it is gone. Then there is a vitamin that you can take at the first sign of a cold sore and it will usually go away in about three days. The vitamin is "Super B-Complex! I have seen this work in an astounding way. I know several people that have used this vitamin, and I have seen it work for every one of them. Then there is the vitamin called "L-Lysine." It has been showed that by using this vitamin everyday will keep you from having an onset of cold sores, but if you happen to get one it will go away really fast. The dosage recommended for this one is one thousand mg. per day.

I know for people that have the problem it becomes really bothersome to them. My son had them so much in his lifetime, believe me, I looked for anything that would work. The three I named above are the best that I have found. By him using them he has them less often, and they are usually gone within two to five days. For any one that has them really often they will tell you this is a good thing. I know, they are painful and can really be an eyesore to them also. I have had my son say, "mom they are embarrassing." I hope this will be a help to those that have the problem. So remember to keep these three in your shelves. Try the L-Lysine 1000 mg. take one of them on a daily basis. Then keep the abreva to use at the on set of a cold sore. Make sure to use it, as soon as you can feel it starting. Then take the Super B-Complex, and you will find they will not last, but for a short time. My son is now Thirty years old, and very seldom has a cold sore anymore, but if he happens to get one after taking the L-Lysine, he always uses the abreva, and takes the Super B-Complex. Hey! It doesn't hurt to try it out and see if it works for you.

I have seen so many people have this problem, and have seen the pain it has brought to them. I have to say, "I have seen these three things change my son's life." I do believe they will help you to. Cold sores are hard for people to deal with, but there are things that can help you out there. Try these three products, and see the changes they make for you.
