Cold Sores Causes and Remedies
Cause #4: Infections
Our immune system does a great job of protecting us from infection and disease, but it is not impervious. When it is faced with invading bacteria or any other pathogen it can use up a lot of resources, and it can become overwhelmed.
If our immune system is overwhelmed when fighting off disease, weaknesses are likely to appear and infections can take hold. This includes cold sores, which means they can be a symptom of another infection within the body. If the system is overwhelmed then antibiotics may be the key, although they should only be used when they are really needed.
