What are cold sores? \n\nCold sores, also known as fever blisters, are small red blisters that crop up near the lips or on them. More rarely, they sprout on the roof of the mouth. (Some people confuse them with canker sores, which are painful crater-like sores that appear on the tongue or on the inside of the cheeks.) Despite their name, cold sores actually have nothing to do with colds; they're caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a close relative of the virus that causes genital herpes. \n\n\n\nHow do you get cold sores? \n\nMost children pick up the virus by sharing food with or kissing someone who has a cold sore. They can also get the infection from someone who doesn't have a visible sore but has the virus in his or her saliva. Once you contract the virus, it stays in your body for good, hiding in nerve cells near your ear. In some people, the virus lies dormant and never causes harm. In others, it periodically wakes up and triggers cold sores. Nobody knows what stirs the virus into action, but stress, fever, colds, and sunburn seem to encourage outbreaks. \n\n\n\nWhat are the symptoms? \n\nChildren don't develop cold sores immediately after the first time they catch the virus. Instead, your child may have swollen gums and a sore feeling in the mouth. A few days later, you may see a cluster of small blisters that turn into a shallow, painful sore, possibly accompanied by fever and swollen lymph glands in the neck. In a few days the sore will crust over and slowly disappear. The whole flare-up lasts about seven to ten days. \n\n\n\nWhat's the best way to treat cold sores? \n\nCold sores will go away on their own, but there are some things you can do to help your child feel better in the meantime. \n\n\n\n•To ease the pain, apply ice to the sore or give your child a mild pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. (Never give aspirin to children or teenagers; it may trigger Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening illness.) \n•Have your child avoid salty, spicy, and sour foods, which irritate the raw nerves in the sore.  \n•Dab on a water-based zinc ointment. It helps dry out the sore so it can heal faster, and the zinc may also aid the immune system.  \n\nTo keep your child from infecting other parts of his body or giving the virus to someone else, encourage him to wash his hands regularly and keep him from picking at his sores.\n\n\n\nOne last caution: Urge your child to avoid touching his eyes when he has a cold sore. HSV-1 can cause ocular herpes, a serious eye infection. If your child develops a painful sore on his eyelid or the surface of his eye, schedule a prompt appointment with his pediatrician: Your child may need antiviral drugs to keep the infection from scarring his cornea. In rare cases, ocular herpes can weaken vision and even cause blindness.\n\n\n\nAlso, any kind of herpes virus is dangerous to newborns. If you have a newborn, keep any of your children who have a cold sore away from him until it's healed. \n\n\n\nHow can I prevent cold sores? \n\nThe first thing you can do is try to keep your child free of the virus that causes cold sores, which may be difficult, given how contagious HSV-1 is. Remember, one peck with an infected lip is all it takes to pass on the virus. If you have sores and your child doesn't, cut out kissing until you've healed. \n\n\n\nIf you are the parent of a newborn and have a cold sore, you don't need to separate yourself from your new baby. Do wash your hands frequently, though, and avoid kissing your baby until the cold sore goes away. You may consider wearing a surgical mask to cover the sore as well. Infectious disease experts do recommend that women with herpes sores on their breasts refrain from breast feeding until the sores are healed.\n\n\n\nIf your child already has the virus, the best thing you can do is keep his immune system strong by making sure he gets a healthful diet, plenty of sleep, an

If its on your tongue and it is the result of a bite, it's not herpes. So, don't worry about that...\nIts called an apthous ulcer, or canker sore. There are medications that you can take to help aid in the healing, but it should go away after about a week... You could ask your dentist to recommend something, or see if he even has some samples...

Stress tends to make them appear.  So does fluctuations in temperature.  Try not to stress out. Apply lip balm regularly.  Abreeva works great.  Don't pick or play with the cold sore.  Scars are very easy to get.

Cold sores appear on your lips are they are usually pretty big, not like a small blister in your mouth. They also usually don't pop and go away. They can scab when they open up and it can take a while to heal. I don't think you had a cold sore, it doesn't sound like it anyway. \n\nBut yes, theoretically if you touch a cold sore and rub your genital area you can get genital herpes. It is REALLY rare to get it that way, but technically you could. If you have a herpes blisters and need to touch it for some reason you need to wash your hands really good after you touch it. You shouldn't be touching the sores anyway unless you are putting medication on them. The more you touch them, they more they can spread.

What I use is called Herbal Canker Care by Quantum.  I got it from the health food store.  With all that I've tried, I've had the best results from this so far.  The sores seem to heal the fastest using this.  Also try using L-lysine (in tablet form) found at either walmart or your health food store.

How to Soothe a Burnt Tongue \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   \n1.   Remember that the surfaces of your mouth and tongue are mucus membranes, and as such, they heal faster than other areas of your body. So even though your tongue may really hurt, be comforted in knowing that by tomorrow, the burn should be gone.  \n  \n2.   Cool your tongue with a frozen dessert such as ice cream or sherbet. Let the treat linger on top of your tongue before you swallow it. For severe burns, frozen foods can be left on top of the tongue for 3 to 4 minutes, until the tongue becomes slightly numb and the pain is dulled.  \n  \n3.   Suck on an ice cube. Don't bite down on the cube, though, because it can crack your teeth.  \n  \n4.   Inhale air through your mouth, across and over your tongue. The cool breeze will help relieve some of the sting.  \n  \n5.   Suck on a cough drop containing phenol, which helps numb the tongue's surface.  \n  \n6.   Talk to your doctor about a prescription for lidocaine hydrochloride oral topical solution, 2 percent, to apply to your tongue. This will numb it and completely relieve your pain.  \n  \n7.   Avoid using mouthwash or harsh toothpaste until the burn heals.  \n  \n8.   Pass on oranges, pineapple and other acidic foods until your tongue stops hurting.

Go to the Health Food Store and buy L-Lysine. TwinLab makes a 500 mg version that works well. At the first sign or  "tingle" of a cold sore, swallow a capsule with water. The Amino Acids in Lysine won't let the cold sore even form if you take it at the first sign. You feel one coming on at night, take one, by morning, nothing is there! It's fabulous! I haven't had a cold sore in 15 years since I discovered this treatment. It will help you get rid of the ones you have too.

Get some Abreva (at the drug store-over the counter) fast!!!Also, start taking Lysine tablets.  Holding ice on the cold sore will prevent it from getting bigger (temporarily, just don't hold it too long, you don't want to get frostbite).  The quicker you start treating it, the better- cold sores spread quickly- good luck!

Try Zicam.  It's a zinc based remedy that's supposed to reduce the length and duration of sore throats and colds.  You can also suck on zinc lozenges, but I find that they taste bad.  I prefer the Zicam nasal swabs... that way I don't have to taste the zinc.\n\nI've personally used it and can say that Zicam works, at least for me.  My sore throats are gone in half the time and the symptoms are dramatically reduced.  Use it at the first sign of a sore throat or cold (although, you can begin using it at any stage of a cold to reduce the symptoms from that point).
