Cold Sores Signs and Symptoms There are three stages to a cold sore and a range of symptoms can accompany the virus, especially for the first outbreak. Those experiencing their first cold sore initially report, sore throat, painful gums, headaches, swollen lymph nodes, or muscle pain.
Cold Sore Triggers. While symptoms are not usually present with an initial infection, certain factors may trigger later outbreaks of a cold sore. These can include exposure to sunlight or other UV light, the common cold or flu, hormonal changes, and emotional stress.
