Cold Sore using ether

Go to your local pharmacy and ask them for a small bottle of ether (should only cost around $2.00). Apply ether to your cold sore every hour using a q-tip. It's not a pretty smell, but it will dry your cold sore up quickly.

Remember, the ether should be handled with extra care!

Excellent remedy I've used for years Comments By: Anon I totally agree - ether is the best remedy I have found for cold sores. If you don't have ether, tea tree oil applied several times a day works well also (apply a little oil to your fingertip and press your finger into the cold sore hard for a few minutes).
