system: What causes cold sores?
output: Cold Sores Cold sores are caused by a virus called herpes simplex type 1. Unlike canker sores, cold sores are contagious from the time the blister ruptures to the time it has completely healed. The initial infection often occurs before adulthood and may be confused with a cold or the flu. Once the person is infected with the virus, it stays in the body, becoming dormant and reactivated by such conditions as stress, fever, trauma, hormonal changes (such as menstruation), and exposure to sunlight. When sores reappear, they tend to form in the same location. In addition to spreading to other people, the virus can also spread to another body part of the affected person, such as the eyes or genitals.

output: Anti-inflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids (including prednisone) are the most effective treatment for canker sores, as they will reduce swelling and pain.

In some cases, symptoms will ease on their own. Still, the fact you're having one can help your doctor make decisions about how you may be treated moving forward. Every person is different, so it may be hard to track down what can trigger a relapse for you. As you get more familiar with how the condition affects you, you'll recognize your symptoms more easily and know what to do about them.
