An ice cube to the lip, as soon as you feel it start, can halt one in it's tracks. Then use Zovirax cream.

I’m in total sympathy, had them myself earlier in the year and to an age to clear. As has been mentioned Zovirax, or Booots equivalent but don’t let them go on for too long before zapping them with antibiotics.
