To reduce the onset of cold cores:

  • Try to maintain a moderate to low stress level.
  • Take extra precautions during cold and flu season not to get sick.
  • Diligently use lip balm and sunscreen on your face daily.
  • Avoid sharing things like razors, eating utensils, and lip balm with a person with a cold sore.
  • Prescription pills can be effective in preventing outbreaks.  Discuss this option with Dr. Petrusha or Dr. Selasky.
