What's the difference? I've been taking Valtrex and it helps some, but it didn't eliminate them completely. I get cold sores like twice/month. It's super annoying and they are not just a little one on my lip. I get them on my nose, inside of my nose, on my lips, upper lip. ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
When I was growing up (not here) my mom used to give me a mega dose of vitamin C intravenously. It really worked, but I have since learned that it's not really good for your kidneys to take that much vitamin C at the same time.

Abreva helps, but only marginally. I once used a prescription-only topical acyclovir (forget the brand name) when I needed the cold sore to be gone immediately. It worked like magic.

Cold weather is another--invest in a scarf or balaclava in winter.

Zovirax and Famvir. mine got really bad and nothing else was working, so I had to get the Rx.

Valtrex. If you don't want systemic, go for Denavir.

yup. the virus takes over your mucus membranes once your immunity falls.
I've had cold sores since I was in elementary school, and I'm pretty certain that I didn't have herpes then. Can someone explain?
Lol. Yes you did.
