What is a fever blister / cold sore, and how is it caused?

How can I prevent getting fever blisters / cold sores?

Avoid any physical contact such as kissing and sexual intercourse, with a person who is currently experiencing an HSV-1 or HSV-2 outbreak. HSV-2 can also be transmitted via oral-genital contact.

For some people stress seems to trigger fever blisters as well as not getting the required amount of sleep, such as at least 8 hours a night. The body needs this 8 hour period out of our busy 24 hour schedule in order to repair minor damages. We need those 8 hours of sleep in order to get all the energy we need for the next day and to be as productive as possible. It is also also important, that the 8 hour period of sleep should occur more or less on a regular time schedule for best recovery and a deeper sleep such, as 10:30 pm to 6:30 am

Are fever blisters the same as canker sores?

No. Canker sores are harmless and not contagious. Canker Sores appear inside the mouth and are usually caused by injury such as biting the inside lining of the mouth when chewing gum or food, when eating really hot food and causing damage to the soft tissue inside the mouth. Canker sore can also appear spontaneously or be aggravated by citric fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, strawberries, fruit juices and tomatoes.
