29 Home Remedies to Get Rid Of Cold Sores

26. Neosporin

Although Neosporin is not an herbal remedy, it is still usually one type of topical medication that most people have in their medicine cabinets. Since it works to promote healing and lessen inflammation, Neosporin ointment can also be used on the cold sore areas where pain or tingling is felt, as well as on the open cold sores to promote healing. Be sure to apply some alcohol on the fever blisters first, then put the Neosporin afterwards to get the best effect from the ointment.
