A member asked:

Symptoms : tiredness, thirst, i developed a cold sore saturday that scabbed over the next day and is now almost gone...any ideas on what it could be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral illness: This sounds like an unspecified viral illness. Typically cold sores come out with viral illnesses (or bacterial), but when the immune system is under stress or compromised. Your thirst could be due to fever, dehydration, or illness or a combination. Cold sores are typically herpes simplex type 1 and 80% of the population has been exposed to those.
