@drclaireo: Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause both oral and genital sores. I’ve been in my medical training bubble for such a long time which has made me forget how much work there still is to do around education of medical topics. It’s very difficult to battle misinformation when people hold on so tight to it. I would highly recommend @Burt's Bees cold sore patches!
Ice has helped. I’ve had them since I was a baby. Somebody kissed me.

It’s not from sharing drinks, it’s skin to skin contact ie kissing

I live and die by the L-Lysine pills! It’s not an overnight fix but it for sure speeds the process. Also if you take two as soon as you feel an itch and then regular doses for 2/3 days after the sore never comes to the surface! However NOTHING gets me right like Valtrax (or the generic brand)

Valcyclovir and Abreva are my go-to’s. If I catch it at the tingle phase I can clear it up in 4-5 days. It goes straight to scab phase after 1-2 days. Won’t even bloom.
