I even tried honey which was suggested on The Dr Oz Show I am out of state so contacting my primary care DR. is not areal option till I go home Thank You, Kate
For an infected cold sore, I would have asked you to take an oral antibiotic (penicillin group e.g Amoxycillin) for a week.
Topical OTC antibacterial like 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily.
