cold sores --need to eradicate one fast!

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any advice for getting rid of a cold sore fast, and then

healing whatever virus is causing it? I've had cold sores pop up very

occasionally ever since I had mono 13 years ago. They only come up when I

am stressed and tired AND I have some kind of trauma to my lips, usually

they are dry, I've been in the sun, and I bump them on something (sounds

weird but this week my son rammed me with the top of his head, one time I

hit it on my desk leaning down to the floor for something, I think

clutziness runs in our family). I've read that cold sores are herpes

related and mono is herpes related so I think there must be a connection. I

don't have any genital herpes symptoms though, and my husband of 13 years

has never caught whatever this is and he even kisses me when I have a cold

sore (ew, I know!)

I have company coming in 4 days and it is urgent that I get rid of this

thing FAST!! All I know to do is apply an OTC med called Abrevia and I've

also started taking coconut oil (drinking it and applying it topically). An

internet search brought up BHT, and bee pollen, but I am not sure how to

acquire those locally. I'm also drinking lots of raw milk but I was doing

that prior to this as well.

Thanks,

TJ
