    I wouldn't try anything you put up there... as far as ear wax, tooth paste, nail polish remover, etc.

    I have heard people try abreva, herpecin L, lysine, orajel, etc. and different medication works for different people. Has abreva not worked for you?

    If you really want, your doctor can potentially prescribe you acyclovir for the sores.

    Take L-lysine.. it's a vitamin. It will help fend off any future viruses as well.
