Answer:
A fever blister is a cold sore, which is caused by the herpes virus. There is no over-the-counter medication or home remedy that cures cold sores. Only time will take care of that. But there is a good prescription medication for cold sores. It will make them go away much faster, and as a result of taking this medication you will have far fewer outbreaks of cold sores. The absolute best treatment for cold sores is a prescription medication in pill form called Valtrex. It was intended for genital herpes, but cold sores are caused by the same family of viruses, and Valtrex stops colds sores in their tracks. None of the other treatments come close to the effectiveness of Valtrex, not the ointment Zovirax, and certainly not Abreva or anything else. Ask your doctor about it to see if you would be a good candidate for this medication. My doctor prescribed it for me for cold sores about five years ago and after taking it only a couple of times I hardly ever get a cold sore any more, and before Valtrex I was having several attacks a year. On the rare occasions that I do get one now, it is gone almost immediately when I take the medication - in about a day. In the meantime, here are a couple of informative links. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/cold-sores-topic-overview http://kidshealth.org/kid/ill_injure/aches/cold_sores.html http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/9325.htm

Fever blister is another name for cold sores. They are outbreaks of herpes virus (HSV1), which is related to, but not identical to genital herpes. The only meds that work against herpes are Valtrex and Zovirax. They are very similar, but Valtrex is better. Zovirax also comes in an ointment which you can apply directly to the sore. Antibiotics do not work on viruses.

Abreva. It comes in a tiny tube and is quite expensive, but well worth it. Apply a few times a day. It is a wonderful nonprescription product. Good luck
