Cold Sores Symptoms To Look Out For

Fever

Fever is another symptom of an oncoming cold sore, though it is more commonly experienced during your first breakout. However, it can reactivate HSV-1 after being dormant in your body. It can be accompanied by flu-like symptoms and swollen glands, which is why it can be mistaken for illnesses such as the flu at first. In addition, it can cause re-occurrences of outbreaks. If your body temperature is high, it is best to call your doctor to be examined, because although its rare and extreme, high temperature and noticeable confusion during an outbreak could mean the virus has infected the brain.
