Cold sores are a form of herpes!. You need to be very careful not to share food or drinks or kiss anyone when you have an outbreak!. Unfortunately you probably got it from someone else who had it and you didn't know!. You can only transfer it right before you get one or while you have it!. Outbreaks are caused by extreme temperatures (hot or cold) and also by fever or stress!. Sorry to tell you, but you will continue to get them for the rest of your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no cold sores break out from many thing
to me I get them when I have a fever or my body is hot
inside fever
my dad gets them when he does not drink water (body is to hot)
My son gets them when he bumps himself or bites himself
We use a medicine call campho-phenique you can get it at walmart only use when you have the bump and then the next day dont use it after it will dry up your lip or the whole bump causing it to hurt You can also use ice
this goes way it goes away fast
My son is 7 yrs old and I do this to him and he is fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

You can get cold sores from a drinking fountain! It is so easy to catch, but unfortunately never fully goes away!. My doctor just gave me a new prescription to help if I start to feel one coming on, it doesn't prevent it but it only last three days and doesn't get all gross, it just stays a little bump and then disappears!Www@Answer-Health@Com

they are pretty revolting! But if you look after yourself with a healthy diet & treat them as soon as you feel one coming on, they will be minimal!. I get them now & then, but only when I am run-down or sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
