The same holds true for acne sores. I buy a tube of triple antibiotic ointment available without a doctor's prescription.

If required, take a painkiller, e.g. ibuprofen, paracetamol or soluble aspirin. This reduces pain and inflammation. (Always follow manufacturers' instructions - and don't take aspirin if you have been told not to by a doctor.)
