A member asked:

Is there a baby orajel for fever blisters?

Leave em alone: Fever blisters are best treated by leaving them alone to dry out. It seems that when an anesthetic gel is put on these things...We tend to overdo it. If you are prone towards getting these things then talk to your dentist and get something that can shorten their duration and pain intensity.

Fever blisters: Before applying anything check with your dentist or pediatrician. Your child may have a viral infection called herpetic stomatitis. Orajel is a topical anesthetic, but there are more effective treatments. If it is viral, your pediatrician may want to treat it differently.
