I take L-lysine, an amino acid easily found over the counter. Just take the recommended dosage, usually helps clear up my cold sores 1-2 days sooner than without. I also take it as a preventative measure if I've been under considerable stress or if I've had a slight fever or cold (sometimes you just KNOW you're going to get a cold sore).
