my husband has had success with either lysine and/or abreva.

This is likely a herpes virus, so either an antiviral or Lysine will work. If you choose to use the Lysine, I would suggest that you start taking 8,000 - 9,000 mgs daily, split into 3 doses. This is the routine that I follow when I have a cold sore start. I stay on the higher levels until the sores start to heal and then slowly lower it back down. I stay on about 6,000 mgs daily anyway to keep my EBV and herpes viruses under control.

Lysine blocks arginine - arginine is what encourages/allows these viruses to replicate easier essentially.

I also like to use a product called Herpecin. It's a lip balm for those with cold sores: www.herpecin.com/ I have nothing to do with this company, other than finding this product helpful. It just helps keep the crusties down to a minimum on those cold sores.

My daughter used to get cold sores and I gave her l-lysine regularly. But, if she overdid it playing in the sun, she would always get a cold sore.

We had to work her up to an afternoon in the sun. In the spring we started with 10 minutes sun exposure, then 3 days later a little more, and so on, until she could go and play with her friends all afternoon in the sun. The sun was her trigger for cold sores.

I have always had fever blisters. I'm getting way more now that I'm treating LD. You can kill them at first tingle with a herpes prescription. It's called Zovirax. It's a pill, but also comes in a cream. I ALWAYS have it in stock. Abreva and Lysine take too long.

are you taking Zithro? Tell your doctor if it spreads rapidly to a wider area.

I've found that if I take high dose lysine at the first sign of a tingle that I can get it under control in 3 days time - then I just have to keep any sores that may have opened up covered with a lip balm like Herpecin and they heal up in just another couple of days as well. Of course, it won't work that well for everyone.

This has given a lot of people I know relief. They take it on a daily basis though.

Just make sure that any ingredient is not an allergen. There is astragulus in it.
