&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatment Options&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Managing cold sores involves both over-the-counter and prescription treatments. Antiviral creams can help speed up the healing process if applied early. Prescription antiviral medications can be highly effective for frequent or severe outbreaks, especially when taken at the first sign of symptoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preventing Cold Sore Outbreaks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Prevention is key to living comfortably with cold sores. Avoiding close contact with others during an outbreak is essential, as cold sores are highly contagious. To minimize the chances of an outbreak, avoid known triggers, such as stress, sun exposure, or certain foods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are Cold Sores Contagious? How Do I Prevent It From Spreading to Others?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;During an active outbreak, it is essential to avoid sharing personal items like utensils, towels, or cosmetics. Engaging in oral contact with others, such as kissing, should also be avoided to prevent the spread of the virus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Cold sores may be a lifelong condition, but with the proper care and preventive measures, you can manage outbreaks and minimize their impact on your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
