What do doctors do to take care of a fever blister that is in the nose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on cause: If it is herpes then oral or topical antiviral meds. If bacterial then topical antibiotic like bacitracin. Don't sniff in Bacitracin as the petrolatum in the lungs can cause scarring.
