Herpes Fever Blisters
Herpes Fever Blisters
Herpes fever blisters are also sometimes called “cold sores”. This is a type of herpes known as oral herpes that usually occurs on or around the mouth and lips.
With this type of herpes, painful blisters and sores can develop on the mouth and lips or around the mouth area and other parts of the face.
Herpes fever blisters are thus named because they often come on when a person has a fever or a cold. This is because the herpes virus lies dormant in the nervous system of the person and when something happens to weaken the immune system, such as a cold, it can resurface.
The immune system isn’t able to fight off both the illness and the herpes virus.
Herpes fever blisters are usually very painful. Because of where they appear on the mouth and lips, they can be made worse by any irritants such as food and drink. It’s very important to try to keep your blisters clean and dry until they heal properly. Don’t touch your sores and then touch other parts of your face or body or you can spread the virus.
There are also some treatments to help the pain and discomfort of herpes fever blisters. In addition to these remedies, there are some home treatments that many people find helpful. Anything that you can do to help boost your immune system such as eating a healthier diet is also a good idea.
Now that you know more about herpes fever blisters, you will be better able to understand this condition if it’s happening to you. There are over the counter treatments to help you with the healing process when you have an outbreak and if your outbreaks come often or severe, you might talk to your doctor about some type of suppressive therapy.
