Cold sore: There are over the counter antiviral creams that may help but if you have recurrent sores, you may need to have prescription medications to suppress the virus at the first sign of outbreak.

I keep getting mouth sores. They start out swollen + painful but swelling goes down in a few hours, and sore disappears within 2-3 days. Like canker sores but too brief to be those ... What are these?
