Help For Cold Sores

Typically people do not go around calling their cold sores herpes because this reminds them too much of the STD and it makes people uncomfortable. It is, however, the same virus.

Although it doesn’t carry as much social stigma as genital herpes but it can still cause psychological effects, especially on people that have severe and frequent outbreaks of cold sores.

This is why cold sores continue to come back in a person again and again and usually in the same place. You are not getting a new cold sore each time you get sick...

...You are actually getting a recurrence of your original herpes virus.

When you get sick (such as from a cold or flu), the herpes virus that has been lying dormant reactivates and travels down your nerves into the same place as your original outbreak.

Signs and Symptoms of Cold Sores

Signs of oral herpes or cold sores may include:

• Tingling sensation in or around the mouth
• Sores on the lips, corners of the mouth or in the mouth
• Sores inside the mouth and on the back of the throat, etc
• Fever, muscle aches
• Flu-like symptoms

The herpes simplex virus goes through different phases, It’s very important to learn about these different phases as it can help you understand your herpes and also help you know when it is in the “active” stage.

An active herpes infection is often referred to as “asymptomatic” or the Prodrome (warning) stage. You might also hear people refer to early redness, vesicles, wet ulcers, crusts and healed and these are different stages that the herpes virus will go through on your body.

Some of these phases may be obvious in you and some may be more conspicuous. During the asymptomatic phase, the virus is in a latent state and is lying dormant in your nerves. You will have no outer signs of the virus. You may even forget that it is there.

This is the phase that everyone with herpes would like to remain in for as long as possible. With proper diet, exercise and lifestyle, most people can achieve this and that’s what this book is all about. To claim the free report fill in the form below to learn more:
