Outbreaks of multiple canker sores can and do occur (in contrast to the classic single ulcer form). Usually the total number of canker sores that will form at one time will be six or fewer. If multiple canker sores do develop they tend to be widely distributed throughout the person's mouth (as opposed to being clustered together).

What over the counter medication can I use for cold sore inside the mouth?
There are no over-the-counter products which have been found to shorten the length of cold sores after initial appearance. Only prescription antivirals, such as Zovirax or Valtrex along with ointments like Zovirax or Denavir have been found to effectively prevent or treat cold sores. These products will shorten their appearance from 10 days to about 5 days.

How can you prevent cold sores?
Well, cold sores are caused by all of the acid that goes into your mouth. For instance, maybe you're drinking too much soda. So, all you have to do is: -don't drink soda all the time -drink milk and water Hope I helped! Perhaps this person from the first answer is thinking of canker sores that are inside the mouth. Cold sores/fever blisters are the same thing. Their medical name is Herpes simplex 1. It is not the same as genital herpes simplex 2 but the same family. Herpes (cold sores,fever blister) is a virus with no cure. Once you got it you got forever. But the intensity and frequency drastically decrease the as the years go by. So there is no way to prevent an outbreak but there are certain triggers: a fever (hence the names-fevers come with colds) & time in the heat and sun (because it makes your body hot). Only one thing was ever effective against mine & it was anti-perspirant. Put it right on the sore right thru the blister & then the scab stage. Where my sores would last up to 2 weeks - with anti-perspirant they were gone in 5 days max. It dries out the blister makes it scab in a 10th of normal time & then dries out the scab so much it falls off after 1 or 2 days. It makes sense, of course, cause anti-perspirant is made to keep skin dry .

I ruled out cold sores as they are painful and what my husband experiences, though annoying, is pain-free.

They will go away by themselves within 4-14 days.There are various remedies that may help reduce the pain of canker sores and increase healing. These include cleaning with an oral agent (like Glyoxyl). You can also try diluted hydrogen peroxide or salt water. Vitamin B complex may help.Another remedy is a steroid called Kenalog.

If you kiss someone with a cold sore/herpes virus sore, that person will contract the herpes virus. You are contagious with and without an outbreak.

One in five Americans have the virus. However, educate yourself on the virus so that you don't spread it to others or to other parts of your body like your eyes and genitals. Be safe and smart.
