Cold sores are caused by a Herpes Virus (HSV-I not the genital variety HSV-II). Abreva is a topical medication that can help fight and speed healing of cold sores. Abreva is over the counter in the USA. Neosporin will not keep the virus from spreading but could help it from becoming secondarily infected with bacteria. Neosporin contains 3 antibiotics: Neomycin, Bacitracin and Polymyxin.
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.
