Suffering From A Cold Sore On Chin, Headache. Why Is It?
Hi, I am suffering from a cold sore that is on my chin... I have been getting them on my chin since I got preg with my daughter back in 2000 and for about 5 years I would get them every 6 months to the day just about. I haven't had one in years but I woke up Sat with one. MY question is why is it when I get them I always feel sick to my stomach and have a headache just about the whole time.
