Accepted Answer

Pallative Measures: What most people call a fever blister is herpes simplex i - a virus that has to run it's course of 7-14 days. Your dentist or md can give you meds. To take that may help if it just came on but generally when we see them all we can do is help with the discomfort and help you prevent them coming on again. You still should see someone to be sure it is what you think it is if this is the first time.

Question 7

why do fever blisters come out on noses?

Accepted Answer

Oral herpes: Oral herpes (fever blister, cold sore) outbreaks occur mostly on or near the lips, but they're also common elsewhere like the nose. Between outbreaks, the virus (HSV1) occupies nerve ganglia. There's no special reason for the nose or other places, just the luck of which nerve(s) happen to be infected. Treatment is easy and effective:  single dose of valacyclovir (Valtrex). Discuss w/ MD

Question 8

is there a baby orajel for fever blisters?

Accepted Answer

Leave em alone: Fever blisters are best treated by leaving them alone to dry out. It seems that when an anesthetic gel is put on these things...We tend to overdo it.  If you are prone towards getting these things then talk to your dentist and get something that can shorten their duration and pain intensity.

Question 9

do l-lysine tablets work for fever blisters.

Accepted Answer

Nope, no effect: D-Lysine has absolutely no benefit in people with either oral or genital herpes. Do not believe the many misleading claims you can find online and don't waste your money. Acyclovir and related drugs effectively treat outbreaks (it only takes a single dose); if frequent, daily drug can prevent them. Use a strong sunblock if you find sun exposure triggers outbreaks.

Question 10

can fever blisters transfer to vaginal areas?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: A true fever blister will not 'transfer' to any other area. However, many people have re-activation of old herpes infections (cold sores) during times of stress, which a fever is. These lesions do contain some active herpes virus and can indeed be 'transferred' to other areas if directly touching them and then areas without intact skin in place. So you really need to know which is which.
