A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you sucked in helium can you get a cold sore on your lips and etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but...: A cold sore is caused by a virus and therefore, sucking on helium will not cause a cold sore. You can get a cold sore on your lips as an independent occurrence simultaneously.
