Any tips for getting rid of a cold sore? Other than medication and Abreva.

Some tips to help alleviate cold sores include avoiding foods high in lysine and arginine, as they have been linked to more frequent outbreaks. While research is ongoing, experimental treatments such as diode laser and infrared light may potentially help speed up the healing process. These methods are not widely available yet, but could become more common in the future.
