Cold Sore
I have a painful cold sore on the corner of my mouth. It's just soooooooooooo annoying! And guess what? Cold sores are caused my herpes virus type I ! Doesn't that sound scary? Genital herpes are caused by herpes virus type II, so don't worry... But anyway, it is very contagious. If you have had cold sore before, you should have noticed that if you pick or pop it, it will spread around and cause more sores around the mouth! But the bad news is there is no cure for it. it will eventually goes away in 7-10 days. The Chinese wives' tales have always been to take vita B and vita C tablets 3 times a day, it will help to shorten the duration. I think it's probably helping the body to boost the immune system to fight the virus more efficient. In any case, I can't eat or talk very well these days, I might not pick up your calls, so email me!
