Question: How to prevent cold sores?
Answer:
Cold sores are caused by the virus herpes simplex. Unfortunately, once you have this virus, your chance of preventing cold sores is greatly reduced. However, there are some people who have the virus, but never show any cold sore symptoms.
The best way to prevent cold sores is avoid contact with someone who is infected, especially if they have a cold sore outbreak. You should also avoid sharing cups, glasses or eating utensils used by someone with a cold sore.
