How to make swelling in cold sores go down?
I got sick and woke up with 2 cold sores, they werent that bad. Well 2 days later I woke up with another one that has caused my lip to swell! It looks like ive bit hit in that spot about 10 times. It embarrassing! Ive read that nothing works on cold sores. Ive tried Abreva a while back but it didnt work at all! Does anyone know of ANYTHING that helps heal these things or at least make the swelling go down?
No ice, Ice only eases the pain. It causes the blisters to dry up and sometimes bleed. I forgot to mention that ive been dealing with these all my life. Im using carmex right now, it stops the tingling and itching but the swelling is whats getting to me!

I had cold sores all my life and they used to get just huge-like you, I looked like I had been hit. A doctor told me to take
L-lysine and I swear I have never had another one. I took it regularly for a few months but then quit. For the last ten years, if I feel the tingle of a cold sore starting, I quick take two pills and then take one a day for the next couple days. It completely stops the cold sore from coming to the surface. Hope it will work as well for you!
