Karl, I also suffer from cold sores. Here's some tips from my experience.
1. As mentioned by others, you will find the cold sores recur from time to time. Apparently the virus resides in nerve junctions in your face and elsewhere. When the necessary stimulus occurs the virus multiplies and migrates along the nerves to the skin. I find that cold sores are triggered by stress or a slight blow to the lips, particularly in cold weather. Tr to avoid these if you can. 2. Zovirax cream is very effective if applied early enough, basically as soon as you feel the onset of symptoms. 3. I find my cold sores seem to respond well to a little gentle practice, provided they're not scabbed over or open. However, the operative words here are little and gentle, but it's worth remembering that your cold sores may well respond differently.
