    So, the title is pretty self-explanatory. I've got a cold sore on my lip and it's been a very very long time since I've had one so I'm slightly freaking out...
    Anyone got any tips on how to get rid of them quickly? Or at least effectively?

    It's just...I miss eating and drinking properly. Food is awesome but this cold sore is effing up my good times with food- help please~ :icon_sad:

    Cold sores usually heal themselves with in two weeks without treatment. I think it's better to seek a licensed doctor when you think it's taking a long time but I do suggest applying a wet tea bag on the affected area to have a fast healing process.
