"I would like to know your tips for treating a severe wildfire, aside from applying an ointment. Help!"

To treat a severe cold sore, aside from using an ointment, you can try applying diachylons from the pharmacy to reduce the appearance and spread of the virus. You can also use creams like Abreva™ or Feux-Sauvages FX, which may shorten the duration of the cold sore. If these methods do not work, consider seeing a doctor for a prescription for a more effective cream or medication like Acyclovir or Valtrex™.
