Cold Sores - Stage 3

Cold Sores
The third stage of cold sores is the inflammation stage.

The herpes virus has reached the surface and entered the nerve cells to begin replication. The cold sores virus, as with all viruses, is a sub-microscopic parasite that needs a host to create more of its kind. When the cold sores virus enters the cell, it turns the cell into a cold sores virus factory - forcing the cell to clone itself as many times as the cell can manage.

This process creates a swelling and inflammation of the cells as more and more cold sores virus are created.

You can try to discourage the replication process of the cold sores virus by applying ice but understand that, at this point, considerable damage to the cells is already done. Ice may slow down the process or stop it at this point, depending how aggressive your cold sore virus is this time.
