Cold Sore Symptoms - the Four Stages
Cold sore symptoms are very easy to identify. This is because they are practically almost similar for most people. When you get infected with the herpes virus, it could stay in your body for anything between 2-20 days before you get the first symptoms. They are several stages and we shall look at them step by step.
FIRST STAGE
During this stage, you experience a headache, fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and drooling in children. You also feel itching, burning and sensation around the affected area. This stage is also known as prodromal stage.
SECOND STAGE
The affected area swells, small red pimple like bumps appear. They will then swell with the virus particles. During this stage, you may experience some headache and fever. You can actually apply some ice wrapped in a clean cloth on them to soothe and reduce the inflammation.
THIRD STAGE
The blister will then burst oozing out with the liquid inside. This is the most contagious stage as this can mean that you infect other parts of the mouth as the liquid is full of fresh virus looking for a home. What you are left with is an open wound which is painful as it is at the end of the nerve.
FOURTH STAGE
This is the best part as this is the healing stage. Once the blister bursts, the open ulcer starts the healing process and you can actually notice the difference on a daily basis. You can apply Vaseline or virgin olive oil to help keep the wound soft. The crust could last between 7-14 days and will heal leaving no scar.
The above are some of the symptoms that most people experience, however you could always consult your doctor if you feel that they are taking a little bit too long to heal.
