A member asked:
What are the earliest symptoms of cold sores (oral herpes)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain, tingling, itch: Many people describe either pain, tingling, or itching, beginning as much as a full day before the cold sore actually comes out. They know a cold sore is coming before there's any redness, swelling, or blistering.
