Hi, I am in early stages of pregnancy and keep breaking out with cold sores. Is this common? Also any recommendations on best treatment?

I have been told that Abreva is safe to use while pregnant, but will check with OB. Thank you :)

i would call your OB and see what OTC stuff you can use. I've always really liked the way Abreva has worked but im not sure if its safe during pregnancy.
