What are Cold Sores?

Cold sores, oral blisters, or fever blisters are fluid-filled blisters that develop around the mouth and lips. They look red, swollen, and itchy, which might affect your quality of life since they last for approximately two weeks, and it’s a long time to bear the pain, itchiness, and sometimes bleeding.

What Causes Cold Sores?

There is no one reason behind cold sores. However, the several causes of cold sores are discussed below:

• Herpes Simplex Virus is the reason behind cold sores. It is spread through close contacts, such as kissing, eating from the same utensils, sharing towels, etc.
• A weak immune system can also cause cold sores as the Herpes simplex virus finds it easier to attack your body.
• Exposure to the sun and cold winds can also cause the appearance of cold sores.
• If you have the Herpes Simplex virus, cold sores can appear even due to excessive stress.
• Lack of Vitamin C and D can also cause cold sores to form.

Symptoms of Cold Sores

It will pass through several stages if you have never had a cold sore and are infected with the virus. Remember, cold sores take time to heal.

• You will experience itching or tingling around the mouth 12-24 hours before the first cold sore appears. Whether you scratch it or not, it won’t make a difference since the virus has entered your system.
• You will see small blisters forming around your mouth or on your lips. They are small, fluid-filled blisters. They may appear on your cheeks and around your nose as well.
• They act like pimples. They take time; the sores burst, the fluid leaks, and the skin crust over.

It is common for kids and adults to experience fever, sore throat, painful gums, swollen lymph nodes, and other symptoms when they experience their first outbreak of cold sores.

Facts About Cold Sores

• Not everyone suffers from cold sores. If you have a strong immune system, you might not experience cold sores.
