How do you get a fever blister on your lip?

Answer 1

There are a few commercially available products that can speed the healing of a fever blister. Denivir is a prescription medication that can help.

AnswerWhen the first sign of a fever blister has emerged or felt, take one piece of cubed ice and wrap it in a paper towel or a napkin. This will keep the blister from causing lots of pain and keep the swelling from a minimum. Also even being seen. For many people, the fever blister disappeared [not there] the next day. AnswerEpsom Salts (ask your pharmacist for it) is soothing (not like regular salt.) Get a small bowl, boil some water, put in 1/4 cup of Epsom Salts, and just enough boiling water so the crystals melt, then add tepid water (body temperature) and soak a clean face cloth in it, and take a little of the water out of it, but not all and hold it on the blister. Do this 4 - 5 times a day. It helps to heal, disinfects and heals wounds quickly. I would also take the advice of the above poster and get a product from your pharmacist to put on your fever blister when you are out for the day or sleeping.

Answer 2

A fever blister is a virus that must run its course. You can go to the doctor and get Acyclovir, but it must be started almost immediately. Once you get a blister, keep it moist with a gel such as Bacitracin or Neomycin so it does not scar. Don't let it form scabs, which could scar. Don't peel scabs, just keep them moist. To prevent a fever blister, as soon as you feel the irritation, apply ice as often as you can. The cold will kill the virus and prevent the blister. If there is a lot of pain, it could be shingles. Get to a doctor immediately if you are in a lot of pain and suspect shingles.

Abreva is a really good product that reduces the duration of a fever blister.
