• Keep your Canker & Cold Sores Relief spray nearby. People who experience recurring oral sores/blisters often report itching, tingling or burning in the lip area days or hours before the fever blister occurs. Canker & Cold Sores Relief can be especially effective at this time.
• Pack sun-protection apparel and plenty of sunscreen; limiting sun exposure may reduce the incidence of cold sore recurrence.
• Plan your trip carefully to minimize emotional and physical stress; these are also common triggers for recurrences.

• If canker sores plague you, your mouth may benefit from more acidophilus. This beneficial bacterium may help regulate the natural flora in your mouth that can run amok and cause sores and gum problems. Try eating a cup of acidophilus-rich low-fat or fat-free yogurt as a midmorning snack every day. Make sure the label indicates that the yogurt contains "live, active cultures."
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, refined foods, sugars, saturated fats, and arginine-containing foods (seeds, grains, nuts, nut butters, chocolate).
• Increase intake of high lysine-containing foods (fish, chicken, eggs, potatoes, and dairy products).
• Vitamin C (1,000 mg three times per day) and acidophilus (one capsule with meals) may reduce the length of outbreaks.
• Beta-carotene (50,000 to 100,000 IU per day) slows viral activity.
• Zinc (30 mg per day) slows viral reproduction.
• L-lysine (500 to 1,000 mg per day for prevention, 2,000 mg two to four times per day during an outbreak)
• Thymus extract can help strengthen the immune system.
• Selenium (250 mcg per day) may reduce length and frequency.
