Examples of cold sore in the following topics:
-
- Three common skin conditions that result from viral infections are cold sores, shingles, and warts.
- Oral herpes , the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores or fever blisters, is an infection of the face or mouth and is the most common form of infection.
- Oral herpes is easily diagnosed if the patient presents with visible sores or ulcers.
- Herpes labialis or cold sore of the lower lip.
- Describe what causes cold sores, shingles and warts and the treatment options available
-
- Both HSV-1 (which produces most cold sores) and HSV-2 (which produces most genital herpes) are ubiquitous and contagious.
-
- When symptomatic, the typical manifestation of a primary HSV-1 or HSV-2 genital infection is clusters of genital sores consisting of inflamed papules and vesicles on the outer surface of the genitals, resembling cold sores.
- It helps relieve the pain and discomfort and the sores heal faster.
-
- Clinically, lytic activation is often accompanied by emergence of non-specific symptoms such as low grade fever, headache, sore throat, malaise, and rash, as well as clinical signs such as swollen or tender lymph nodes, and immunological findings such as reduced levels of natural killer cells.
- There are two strains of the herpes simplex virus, HSV-1, which is responsible for cold sores, and HSV-2, which is responsible for genital herpes.
-
- Boric acid: Used in suppositories to treat yeast infections of the vagina, in eyewashes, and as an antiviral to shorten the duration of cold sore attacks.
-
- The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, or a cold) is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract which affects primarily the nose.
- Symptoms include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, and fever which usually resolve in seven to ten days, with some symptoms lasting up to three weeks.
- Well over 200 viruses are implicated in the cause of the common cold.
- No cure for the common cold exists, but the symptoms can be treated.
- If you have a cold 10-15% of the time it is caused by a virus like this.
-
- A few cases of a very rare disease may be classified as an epidemic, while many cases of a common disease (such as the common cold) would not.
- Influenza, the common cold, and other infections of the upper respiratory tract, such as sore throat, occur predominantly in the winter.
-
- The most common symptoms are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, headache (often severe), coughing, weakness/fatigue and general discomfort.
- Although it is often confused with other influenza-like illnesses, especially the common cold, influenza is a more severe disease caused by a different type of virus.

-
- Diseases that are commonly spread by coughing or sneezing include: bacterial meningitis, chickenpox, the common cold, influenza, mumps, Strep throat, tuberculosis, measles, rubella, and whooping cough.
- In sexual transmission, infection originates directly between surfaces in contact during intercourse (the usual route for bacterial infections and those infections causing sores) or from secretions (semen or the fluid secreted by the excited female).
