Identify your cold sore triggers
Who better to know what lies as the triggers to the cold sore virus, than YOU! To identify your cold sore triggers you may need to make like a Cold Sore Investigator (CSI) and begin identifying the cold sore triggers with a diary. While you may find this a tedious, a retrospective assessment of the following things may help you uncover the triggers that cause cold sore outbreaks for you.
Think about the following:
- What you ate or drank.
- Where you’ve been over the preceding few days leading up to that little tingle?
- Were your days more taxing? Was there something more stressful happening?
- Were you sick or someone close to you ill with cold or virus?
While we’re in the business of helping you to get better, but in all honesty, we’d rather you stay healthy and always feel your best. Good health is about taking control and knowing your body. This can include knowing what it means to you to be healthy and maybe you’ll find that stress trigger or the foods you were eating that triggered a cold sore outbreak. So give it a try and maybe identifying your cold sore triggers will help you reduce the frequency of another outbreak.
