Sorry hun they are the same thing. The name cold sore is supposed to lessen the stigma of having oral herpes.
The good thing is they are nothing bad to have, they don't do any thing else besides cause an annoying sore / blisters, they are also very common to have. FYI they can be passed to the mouth with out ever having any thing to do with sex. When they break out it's often a sign that you're run down, have been out in the sun or cold weather fot too long, or stressed out by some thing.

Cold sores are not the same thing as canker sores. Canker sores are not contagious; cold sores are contagious.
They are caused by the same virus which is oral herpes. Fever blisters look more like raised blisters. Cold sores eventually turn into an open sore then scab over and heal up.
