Herpes simplex: See your doctor for a prescription for medication to treat the fever blisters. There are pills and cream that can help the lesions to heal faster and if needed to prevent them from recurring frequently.

See doctor: You will need to see a physician or dentist for a prescription of an anti viral medication. The sooner it is treated the better.
