Down with coldsores.
:(
For people whom dont know whats cold sores, they looked like small blisters some people called
them fever blisters.
HSV-1 is so common that most Americans get infected with it, although many never have any symptoms. People can catch HSV-1 by kissing a person with a cold sore or sharing a drinking glass or utensils,
Kids who get infected with HSV-1 may get cold sores occasionally for the rest of their lives. That's because even after the sores themselves dry up and go away, the virus stays in the body, waiting around for another time to come out and cause more sores. When a cold sore reappears, it is often in the same place as the previous one.
If you've had cold sores before, it can be hard to tell what might make them come back. For some kids, too much
stress, too much time in the
sun, or getting sick can cause cold sores to reappear.
Eating well, getting enough
rest, and learning how to deal with stress are important things for any kid to do, especially a kid who is likely to get cold sores. Putting on sunblock lip balm and sunscreen on the face before going out in the sun may help prevent cold sores from reappearing in kids who tend to get them.
