Cold Sores Symptoms To Look Out For

A Sore Throat

Having a sore throat associated with HSV-1 can be very problematic. The cold sores can also surface in the mouth, which can easily be mistaken to be strep throat. If the outbreak occurs in the mouth, you may see open sores on the gums and roof of the mouth, which quickly become ulcers. It is possible a simple dental procedure that stretches the lips can trigger an outbreak. However, this is only more likely to happen in patients with lowered immune systems or other health issues. You can decrease your chance of an oral outbreak by taking medication before going to the dentist or experiencing other known triggers causing the outbreak.
