cold sore !! A little bit of history... a year ago he (aged 18) got his first sore - it spread to his mouth and throat and he was really ill....couldnt eat for 2 weeks/weak and tired. He is a really good college attender.
He is really worrying the cold sore he now has is going to spread like it did last time and wants to 'treat' it at home - and doesn't want to be at college with white lips (he seems genuinely scared/worried). Today i brought him vitamins/garlic capsules/zorvirax and lip balm containing sun screen - all suggested on the internet.

AIBU to insist he goes to college tomorrow - and is it even any of my business if he goes or not??

Hi Manda... a bit off topic, but there is some stuff you can get off the skin shop called "Liquorice Balm". When he first feels the tingle of a cold sore coming, if he puts this on, it wont appear.

As a fellow cold sore sufferer, its the best cure ive ever found.
