Cold Sore Relief
Cold sores or fever blisters are caused by herpes simplex virus I. They usually occur with a fever, infection, or cold, or after exposure to sun and wind, when under stress, during menstruation, or when the immune system is depressed. These sores are very contagious. They appear three to ten days after exposure and may last up to three weeks. If you are prone to allergies, you most likely have a weak immune system and may be susceptible to cold sores
The first sign of a cold sore is a local tenderness with a small bump. When this bump turns into a blister, there may be more tenderness in the area. The adjacent lymph nodes may become swollen and tender. In some cases, pus oozes from the blisters, which makes eating difficult. Fortunately, there is always less discomfort with a reoccurrence of cold sores.
