  1. How to get rid of cold sores? Cold sores are red, fluid-filled blisters that form near the mouth or on other areas of the face. In rare cases, cold sores may appear on the fingers, nose, or inside the mouth. They are usually clumped together in patches. Cold sores may persist for two weeks or longer. A common virus called herpes simplex causes cold sores. They can spread from person to person through close contact, such as kissing. The sores are contagious even when they aren’t visible. There’s no cure for cold sores, and they may return without warning. Certain medications can be used to treat cold sores and prevent them from coming back.

  2. What causes cold sores? Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. There are two types of the herpes simplex virus. The herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1) usually causes cold sores, and the herpes simplex type 2 virus (HSV-2) usually causes genital herpes. The actual sores are similar in appearance for both forms of the virus. It’s also possible for HSV-1 to cause sores on the genitals and for HSV-2 to cause sores on the mouth. Visible cold sores are contagious, but they may be spread even when they can’t be seen. You can get the herpes simplex virus by coming in contact with infected individuals. This may happen through kissing, sharing cosmetics, or sharing food. Oral sex may spread both cold sores and genital herpes. Reinfection Once you get the herpes simplex virus, it can’t be cured but it can be managed. Once the sores have healed, the virus remains dormant in your body. This means that new sores can appear at any time when the virus reactivates. Some people with the virus report more frequent outbreaks when their immune systems are weak, such as during illness or times of stress.

  3. Cold sore symptoms You may notice a tingling or burning sensation on your lips or face several days before a cold sore develops. This is the best time to start treatment. Once the sore forms, you’ll see a raised, red blister full of fluid. It will usually be painful and tender to the touch. There may be more than one sore present. The cold sore will remain for up to two weeks and will be contagious until it crusts over. Your first cold sore may not appear for up to 20 days after you contract the herpes simplex virus. You may also experience one or more of the following symptoms during an outbreak: fever muscle aches swollen lymph nodes You should call your doctor immediately if you develop any eye symptoms during a cold sore outbreak. Infections caused by the herpes simplex virus can lead to permanent vision loss when they’re not treated promptly. Stages of a cold sore A cold sore goes through five stages: Stage one: Tingling and itching occurs about 24 hours before blisters erupt. Stage two: Fluid-filled blisters appear. Stage three: The blisters burst, ooze, and form painful sores.

  4. Stage four: The sores dry out and scab over causing itching and cracking. Stage five: The scab falls off and the cold sore heals. Cold sore risk factors According to the Mayo Clinic, 90 percent of adults worldwide test positive for the herpes simplex type 1 virus. Once you have the virus, certain risk factors may reactivate it such as: infection, fever, or a cold sun exposure stress HIV/AIDS or a weakened immune system menstruation severe burns eczema chemotherapy dental work You’re at risk of getting a cold sore if you come in contact with the fluid of a cold sore through kissing, sharing foods or drinks, or sharing personal care items such as toothbrushes and razors. If you come in contact with the saliva of someone who has the virus, you can get the virus, even if there are no visible blisters. Complications associated with cold sores The initial infection of herpes simplex can cause more severe symptoms and complications, as your body hasn’t built up a defense to the virus yet. Complications are rare, but can occur, especially in young children. Call your doctor immediately if

  5. you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms: high or persistent fever difficulty breathing or swallowing red, irritated eyes with or without discharge Complications are more likely to occur in people who have eczema or a condition that weakens their immune system, such as cancer or AIDS. If you do have any of these conditions, contact your doctor if you think you’ve contracted the herpes simplex virus.
