    Don't kiss her or share drinks with her. If you do, you will pass the virus onto her and it will keep going back and forth between the two of you. Wait until it disappears completely.

    Cold sores are unfortunately not really caused by colds.

    They are caused by a virus that is already in you if you get them.

    They appear when a cold virus taxes your immune system and it cannot fight both effectively.

    So there's little one can do except heal from the cold virus.
