The acidic saliva is often a result of eating high protein foods such as red meat. Lysine is a regulator that helps both prevent and heal cold sores. Dairy products and white meat are easily accessible forms of Lysine. Chocolate and grain foods should be avoided. There are many treatments available to get rid of cold sores, most contain Lysine in them to help prevent cold sores. Apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil and vitamin e oil are three other common ways to get rid of a cold sore. Other medications contain compounds of zinc, lysine, phenol, and tannic acid that have an inhibitory affect on the herpes virus’ ability to form cold sore lesions. If you prefer a more natural solution or are too cheap to buy a cream, the herbal antiseptics Sage and Tea Tree Oil and the herbal sedative Violet are often suggested as effective treatments for cold sores. If it comes to this, the final possibility is to follow the old wives tale, whack a tea bag on the cold sore, and see what happens.
