I feel your pain, I have oral herpes too
one in four people have this virus and Its not curable.
However is can be managed
Stress or illness causes outbreaks to occur. Have you had the flu? Have you been sick or did something change in your life?
All those things can cause outbreaks. I get them pretty frequently and i got sick of it. Abensol is OK because it numbs it until its gone, but Try Abreva- its over the counter one in a small tube and clears it up within a few days, its pricey but worth it.
If that still doesnt work and you can pay up (which isn't really an option at times, get a swab test and a Valtrex prescription. (its used for much more than genital herpes. It can be used for shingles, cold sored and other conditions)
Dont be embarrassed, after all, most people have the virus. But like I said abreva is probably your best bet

I know how u feel, get some llysine and take aprox 3-5000 mg a day until the sore is gone then like 500 a day, it works for me and usually t gits rid of any sores within a few days. Also clean them with alcohol and pop the sores and re clean them with alcohol and top it ff with abreva, it will sting for a few secs but it is the fastest way to git rid of the problem. Dont eat nuts chocolate or coffee they make you have more outbreaks and eat things like baked beans, corn and drin lots of water. Good luck!

The oral mouth sores can be brought on by stress. Is something stressing you out? Did you know that eating raw broccoli can get rid of the sores and in tests on monkeys can knock out the virus all together? Try eating brocolli, brussels sprouts or cabbage- it really works! You can eat them raw, cooked or whatever. Other than that you can use abreva or other OTC medication.
Good luck!
