Answers:
dont listen to all this negativity about cold sores!. a) there IS a fast solution and b) it isnt that bad!.

1) Prescription from your doctor!. When you feel the tingly pain that lets you know you're about to get one, you take the medecine!. There are a few kinds but I like Valtrex bc it's only two pills in one day instead of taking a weeks worth!. I would also put abreva on the spot because it will still be tender even though it wont erupt into a huge sore so the abreva will help with comfort
2) If you use the medecine, you will have a sore spot for a couple days that isnt noticable!. If you dont, they will last about a week (according to people who dont use it)!. However, the only time I didnt use the medecine was my first outbreak and lasted a few weeks and I had like 15 all in my mouth!. My doctor said that was only because it was the first time though!.
3) Yes, I just got over a cold and started to get one!. I also get them when I'm really stressed like during exams!. Also, if you eat foods that irritate your mouth or let your lips get really chapped you can get them!. Obviously they can pop up at any time but any extra stress you put on your mouth will only increase your chances of getting one!.
4) Yes, it's very common!. It just freaks people when they are older becsause they arent used to it but most people grow up with it and are used to it!. At least 1 in 4 people have gotten a cold sore but I think the numbers are a lot higher now!. I would have to research it to be sure but yes, anytime someone has a "cold sore" or a "fever blister" or sometimes even a "caker sore" (these are different but many people confuse the two) they probably have herpes!. Now just think about all the people youve ever known to have one of these!. It's probably a lot!. Don't worry about it but definetly see your doctor for that medecine!.

A lot of people get these during an illness!. There are over the counter gels that help dry them up - Herpicin, Abbreva, etc!. No matter what you use, it takes almost 2 weeks for the sore to dry up and the scab to flake off!. There is no fast solution!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
