why do we get cold sores in our mouthes?

Answer 1

Cold sores — also called fever blisters — are quite different from canker sores, a condition people sometimes associate them with. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and they're contagious. Canker sores, which aren't contagious, are ulcers that occur in the soft tissues inside your mouth, places where cold sores don't occur. Certain strains of the herpes virus cause cold sores. Herpes simplex virus type 1 usually causes cold sores. Herpes simplex virus type 2 is usually responsible for genital herpes. However, either type of the virus can cause sores in the facial area or on the genitals. You get cold sores from another person who has an active lesion. Shared eating utensils, razors and towels may spread this infection.

Once you've had an episode of cold sores, the virus lies dormant in the nerve cells in your skin and may emerge again as an active infection at or near the original site. You may experience an itch or heightened sensitivity at the site preceding each attack. Fever, menstruation, stress and exposure to the sun may trigger a recurrence.

Answer 3

Because you have herpes. If it is inside your mouth, you probably got it from drinking after someone or kissing, maybe even your parents if they get "cold sores" or "fever blisters." It's not that big of a deal, just don't spread the virus by kissing people or sharing drinks while you have the sore. If it is inside your mouth, there's not much you can do except wait it out. Don't touch it, because the virus can be spread to other parts of your body. Sorry for the bad news. If it is outside of your mouth, some carmex can help speed the healing process.

Answer 4

The cold sores are usually caused by stress or a type of citrus or from bitting the inside of your mouth from eatting. It is not a form of herpes. So no need to worry. If you drink milk or rinse with milk or salt water that usually helps get rid of them and the pain. they are called canker sores.

Answer 5

Sometimes they're caused by a virus and other times they are caused by biting your mouth while eating. You would have to assess each one to see what is causing them. I use Zilactin B from the counter in the drug store for them and it takes them away and doesn't cause the pain.
