cold sore on upper lip
so i've got this very inconvenient fuckin cold sore on my lip and i'm 22 and never had one before. my friend gave me abreva, a 15-dollar tube smaller than my pinky finger. i've been puttin it on for 2 days and it feels like all it's doing is irritating this mean-muggin cold sore i've got pulsating on my upper lip. it turned white and tingly as shit. i was just wondering... say this little bitch decides to explode over the plate of food that i'm eating. and i dont notice. not until i've already swallowed a bite. does this mean i'm gonna get cold sores all down my throat and i'm gonna suffocate. whats goin on here

Yes, cold sores can spread. Cold sores are a virus. Try Ice, warm tea bags or petroleum jelly. If it don't reduce in a couple days, I would make a doctors appointment to get it looked at. Cold sores are generally contracted from skin to skin. Once you are infected with cold sores, the virus stays inside your body throughout your life. In a latent state.
