Abreva is a good option if you want something topical, otherwise I would talk to your doctor and see if you can get a strong Rx for an antiviral like Valacyclovir or Acyclovir.
If neither of those are an option for you or the redness still isn't going away, put a spoon in the freezer and apply it to your skin to help the redness, and use a color corrector under your foundation.

Abreva doesn't work for me at all. I have a prescription that I take, but it has to be taken right away. I find that tea tree (melaleuca) essential oil and peppermint essential oil is really helpful. It does dry your skin out, but it makes the cold sore go away!

Yup took Acyclovir 800mg at first sign (my Rx) + Abreva But it just kept on spreading. I will definitely do the Teatree and peppermint oil

Start taking L-Lysine (it's an amino acid) vitamins. I also make a paste of it and apply it topically.

It helps shorten the healing time for me pretty dramatically. It seems to interfere with arginine, another amino acid, that the virus needs to replicate.
