Abreva Cold Sore Cream works best if you start treatment at the first sign of a cold sore or fever blister outbreak when you feel that tingling sensation and continue applying it as directed five times per day until the cold sore is healed up to a maximum of 10 days. The sooner you catch it, the better your chances for speeding cold sore healing.
