A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral Antiviral: "cold sores" on lips is caused by herpes simplex virus. One usually feels burning sensation before the blisters appear. If you start the oral antiviral Acyclovir or valcyclovir early, at the onset of your symptoms, you can reduce the extent of the flare, and sometime even prevent a flare. See your doctor for the rx.
