What are cold sores (oral herpes)?
Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). They typically appear as small, painful blisters or sores around the mouth or lips.
What are the symptoms of cold sores?
Symptoms can include tingling, itching, or burning before the blisters appear, followed by the development of small, fluid-filled blisters that eventually crust over and heal. Cold sores can be recurrent, meaning they can come back periodically.
How are cold sores treated?
Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and reducing the duration of outbreaks. Antiviral medications, either topical or oral, can help speed up healing and prevent future outbreaks.
