Got this annoying cold sore on my lip this week and im in my second trimester. I used to get them rarely before but now suddenly. Wondering if pregnancy makes it more common. Anyone else dealt with this?
Oh i got one recently too and got a bit worried, did anyone else have this? I read its common because of immunity changes. I asked my doctor what i could use, felt better after that, would suggest the same.
Yes, its fairly common because immunity shifts a bit during pregnancy so things like cold sores can flare up. Dont panic. But please dont put any random cream on it, check with your doctor for whats safe to use now.
Its not unusual during pregnancy due to immune changes. The main thing is dont self medicate, because not every cream or tablet is suitable now. A quick word with your doctor will sort out the safe option for you.
It can happen, hormones and lowered immunity in pregnancy can trigger such things. I would just be a little cautious and mention it to your gynac, especially since youre pregnant, so they can guide you on safe treatment. No need to worry though.
