If you’ve ever had a cold sore you know how painful and unsightly they can be. Cold sores on the lip or mouth are typically caused by a virus called HSV-1, or Herpes 1.
Without any treatment these sores can last visibly up to 10 days. During this time the virus is very contagious and can easily be transmitted to others.
There is no cure for cold sore caused by this virus, but there are medications that can shorten the duration, sometimes limiting them to a day or two.
Other symptoms such as headaches, sore throats, swollen glands and fever are common.
Most of the time the appearance of the sore is diagnostic, but occasionally a culture is taken and the virus can be isolated.
There are many triggers, such as stress, sun light, certain foods and allergies.
