Does anyone by any chance know of a way to keep from closing your mouth while you sleep? Is there anything I can use to keep it propped open just a bit that I won't potentially choke on?

I have cold sores on my lower and upper lips. When I close my mouth, they start to fuse and scab together. When I wake up and have to separate my lips, the sores open. This is keeping them from healing properly. It's making me very frustrated.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
