A member asked:
When i have ebv mono,can cold sores and shingles be reactivated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: but I do not advise anti-viral medication for mono. Cold sores ( HSV-1) can occur for many reasons: illness, stress, tension, poor nutrition. I suggest informing your PCP about testing for HSV which can possibly , not necessarily causative.
