Sorry hun they are the same thing. The name cold sore is supposed to lessen the stigma of having oral herpes. The good thing is they are nothing bad to have, they don't do any thing else besides cause an annoying sore / blisters, they are also very common to have.

When they break out it's often a sign that you're run down, have been out in the sun or cold weather fot too long, or stressed out by some thing.

Can Red Vinegar Destroy or Numb Taste Buds on the front of your tongue if its held in mouth to burn out a Canker Sore?
speaking from experience, acid can take a layer of your tongue away if you use enough, and im sure that vinegar has the same potential for damage to a canker sore as it does to your useful cells. the advantage is that the good cells grow back, whereas the canker sore doesnt. keep doing whatever it is you had in mind, cuz the damage i experienced wasnt painful and had no affect on my ability to taste food (the tequila i drank just an hour ago still almost made me gag).

What are these clear blisters in your mouth?
My husband is afflicted with perhaps the same thing recently. As far as my research has gone today I am thinking Mucocele. An oral condition when a pore becomes damaged and builds up saliva in a painless pocket. If you have insurance it would be good to get it checked out though anyhow. I ruled out cold sores as they are painful and what my husband experiences, though annoying, is pain-free.
