How do you get rid of a fever blister on the lip?

Dr. Joseph Bouvier answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

See below: Tincture of "time". Wait it out, healing simply takes time. But pain meds and oral gels for the pain can help. Also, if this is chronic, talk to you doc about a trial of antivirals and whether your particular case warrants this.
