Maybe nothing: If its cracked and scabbed already, your screwed. At that point, it's a wound. It will heal soon, but you can't speed it up.

Laser treatment: You must find a dentist who uses a laser such as the biolase md laser which when used on the blister will reduce the pain immediately and heal the blister quickly.

Blister on lip: This might be either a cold sore, a canker sore ( aphthous ulcer), or a mucocele (a mucus-filled blister). Different causes and different treatments. The canker sore and the cold sore will heal in 7-14 days.
See you dentist to determine what has caused the sore, and he can therefore suggest a treatment to help alleviate any discomfort.

What type of blister: The most common blister occurring on the lips is due to the herpes simplex virus. Prompt use of an antiviral drug, such as topical pencyclovir can slightly hasten its healing. There are other types of blisters that can occur on the lips-- anything from a mucous retention cyst to a serious autoimmune skin condition. Any persistent or recurrent bliistering of the lips needs professional assessment.
