Antiviral medications can help them heal faster if taken early. Talk to your doctor if your cold sores do not go away after two weeks. Helpful? 1 person found this helpful.
There is no way to shorten the healing time of a cold sore. FACT: Some prescription medicinesâas well as the nonprescription medicine AbrevaÂ® Creamâhave been clinically proven and FDA approved to shorten the healing time of a cold sore. Ingredients like camphor, menthol, and phenol can heal a cold sore.
