How do you cure a fever blister?

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of cold sores fast. Once they appear, they just seem to have to run their course. Some things that might help lessen the spread and unsightliness are Apple Cider Vinegar and warm water, taking Vitamin C and using products that contain Vitamin C, cold sore patches and Carmex. Chapstick helps relieve the pain, but it doesn't seem to help in other ways.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there is no cure for fever blisters. You can use topical ointments to help dry the liquid that is responsible for spreading these unnattractive eyesores. Some good over the counter products are Herpecin-L, Campho-phenique, and Aveeno Cold sore and fever blister ointment. There is one option that you can practice to help prevent recurring fever blisters, you can take all natural L-Lysine tablets as a part of your daily routine and this helps your body defend itself against the virus that causes fever blisters. Very useful if you have to suffer with them over and over.

Answer 3

At the first sign of a cold sore, tingling, itching, palpable bump on the lip, etc., start treatment with an antiviral medication like acyclovir. A single dose of 400-800 mg. will cause the cold sore to stop developing and go away in a few hours. No vesicles or scab will develop if treatment is started right away. Acyclovir is a prescription medication in the USA but is very cheap. You can obtain a prescription for 30 pills for $5.00 or 90 pills for $10.00 at a certain big retailer. Keep the medication in your refrigerator and it will last you years.

Answer 4

You first wet it every night and take medicine for it every night too. then you can do that for a week and make it hurt or you can wait until it dries and pick it off. Before you start picking your fever blister you should wet it first.

I have tried using tea tree oil and lavender oil; they are anti fungal/antibacterial sources and work well. Another is Petrocarbo salve from Watkins; this camouflages small blisters a little bit.

Answer 6

Break a tablet of vitamin E and bust it up. Apply to your fever blister or apply vitamin E lotion directly to your fever blister. Make sure to sterilize the affected area before application. This will soothe the fever blister. Stop eating foods that aggravate your blisters. Eat yogurt to cool off your mouth. Continue to keep yogurt as a part of your daily diet.

Answer 7

Use an ointment like Abreva. Apply it regularly to the blister and that should help make it go away faster. Fever blisters and cold sores can take about 1-4 weeks to heal depending on how sever the break out is.

Put salt on it...it will sting but just leave it on there until it quits stinging and do that everyday until it gets better and don't bite it cause it will only make it bigger
