How to stop cold sore outbreaks?

The good news is that cold sores can be successfully treated and suppressed with meds to limit the extent of future outbreaks and transmission. The quicker you take the medication, the less severe (if at all) the outbreak. Unless actively treated, oral herpes can pass between humans through kissing or sharing a drink. And, because of Viral Shedding, herpes tranmission can take place even if no sores are present.

How to make a cold sore go away

Cold sores are painful blisters that form inside the mouth or around the lips. They are extremely common and are most often caused by HSV-1, but they can also be caused by HSV-2. A single cold sore is considered an outbreak, but outbreaks can also consist of multiple cold sores, especially if you're experiencing your first outbreak. If you've experienced an outbreak, you already know you want the best cold sore treatment, and you want to get rid of a cold sore in 24 hours. Your first outbreak is often the most severe—outbreak severity typically decreases over time as your body learns to deal with the virus. A cold sore antiviral prescription can help prevent outbreaks and can help get rid of a cold sore fast.
