Introduction
Cold sores can be painful and usually last between 7 and 10 days. They are caused by the herpes simplex virus and can be contagious between people. Cold sores begin with a tingling feeling outside the areas of your lips. Then they turn into red, fluid filled painful blisters within a day or so. Herbal remedies for this condition can minimize the pain.
