Prednisone pills won't help fever blisters.
Actually, prednisone pills would likely make fever blisters worse because prednisone suppresses the immune system, which delays the return to latency for the virus causing the fever blisters.
yes
Ciprofloxacin is not used to treat a fever blister.
Ice will help the pain, but not help to remove the cold sore.
Fever blisters (also called cold sores) are caused by the activation of the herpes simplex virus in the facial nerve. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infection.
Alum can be used to effectively treat cold sores and fever blisters by applying a paste made from alum powder and water directly onto the affected area. Alum has antiseptic and astringent properties that can help dry out the sores and promote healing. It can also help reduce pain and inflammation associated with cold sores and fever blisters.
Yes. It does not prevent them but has made a difference in severity and healing time for my daughter
The only thing that has ever worked for me is 'Blistex'. It smells strongly, but it works.
Yes you can but an antiviral should also be used. Hydrocortisone by itself doesn't do much for cold sores, it's an anti-inflamitory cream. It may help with the symptoms and swelling but antivirals will attack the virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters to help prevent it from reproducing in other cells.
When I worked as a nurse in Pediatrics we used Ibuprofen for fevers. It would bring them down in a hurry.More detail:The only way antibiotics would help reduce a fever is to fight the infection causing the fever - but only if it's an infection causing it. But the NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs), such as Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., bring fever down by dilating the blood vessels, helping to release the heat.
A lot of fever blisters are hard to get rid of. Sometimes you may use Blistex Medicated Ointment, but make sure of consulting a doctor before hand. Fever Blisters are embarrasing & can hurt very bad or itch. You usually get a fever blister from oral sex or just kissing another person. A fever blister is basically type 1 herpes, but nothing to worry to much about.If you have one, they will normally last for about 2-6 weeks. Take precautions before using any product on a fever blister.
If the blisters are inside the mouth, I understand that it is a canker sore and not a fever blister, or cold sore. The latter two are from the herpes simplex 1 virus and I understand canker sores are not a virus at all. Good luck with finding your answer and I hope I was of some assistance!
Prednisone is a steroidal anti inflammatory I would assume that if an athlete was suffering from any inflammatory problems Then prednisone would settle them down making his activity easier.
