there not going away!!!

My outbreak has been here for about a week and I've taken the 3 day medicine but it's still there and painful to touch. I've been putting  coconut oil on the sores but that doesn't seem to be doing much. I'm seeing my boyfriend before he's gone for 2 weeks and of course I wanted to do things with him but now I can't cause my outbreak hasn't cleared up! What can I do?! 
PS- does drying out work, like baking soda?
