I am pregnant now, and my OBGYN did call in a prescription for Valtrex when an unruly cold sore popped up a few months ago. It does work great. This cold sore was unmanageable. Abreva did nothing for this one. My doctor's office said it could be the change in hormones, but I have suffered from cold sores since I was in kindergarten.
