About Cold Sores
Cold sores are small painful blisters on or around the lips caused by the herpes simplex virus, which stays in the body and can flare again.

- Mild fever or swollen glands in a first episode
- Crusting after a few days
- Small fluid-filled blisters on or near the lips
- Tingling, itching or burning before blisters appear
