Although most research regarding cold sores is inconclusive, generally it is felt that anything that compromises the immune system may allow the virus to become active and lead to an outbreak. Thus, colds, fevers, stress, menstruation, or any illness, all which put pressure on the immune system, are often associated with the outbreak of a cold sore. The only exception to this would seem to be exposure to the sun, which also seems to trigger the virus.
Diet may also play a part in contributing to cold sore outbreaks. Some research has found that the ratio of amino acids arginine and lysine plays an important part in controlling, but not curing, cold sores. Arginine aids the growth and reproduction of the herpes virus, while lysine inhibits it. Foods high in Arginine, such as chocolate, peanuts and other nuts, grains, peas, seeds, oatmeal and whole-wheat products should be cut out or reduced from the diet. On the other hand, food high in lysine, such as brewers yeast, legumes, dairy, fish, and meat should be increased.

As a word of caution, you should be aware that many of the over the counter and natural remedies may include or contain alcohol, which can further irritate the infected area; or may contain lidocaine and benzocaine - designed to numb.
