Not by tomorrow, no.
Any type of lip balm will help the chapness, and a product like Abreva may be helpful in treating the Cold sore, but by nature, Cold Sores take a week or two to clear up.
The thing to know about cold sores is that they are caused by a virus that's in your system. This virus Doesn't go anywhere; it stays with you for life, like an unwanted friend. Your Immune system battles with this virus, just like it does with a flu/cold virus that floating around, except this one is in your body at all times. The cold sore flares up when the virus has temporarily beaten your immune system. Then it takes a week or two for your system to regain the upper hand. The best defense against cold sores is a strong immune system. Eat a Balanced Diet, take vitamins/minerals.
The Amino acid Lysine is said to have properties that help prevent cold sores. Vitamin B12 has shown some effectiveness, and there are some other supplements that you can read about if you investigate online.
The bad news is that you can't get rid of it in a day. Boosting your immune system is the best offense and defense.
