    The virus is highly contagious when fever blisters are present. It is spread by kissing. Children become infected by contact with someone who has a fever blister and then they spread the virus by rubbing their cold sore and touching other children. A person with fever blisters should be careful not to touch the blisters and spread the virus to new sites, such as the eyes or genitals.



    There is no cure for fever blisters. Medications that can relieve some of the pain and discomfort include ointments that numb the blisters, antibiotics that control secondary bacterial infections, and ointments that soften the crests of the sores. Acyclovir, an antiviral drug, prevents the herpes simplex virus from multiplying and, in pill form, has been reported to alleviate the symptoms and frequency of recurrence.

    There are 2 things that will aid to avoid getting cold sores/fever blisters. One is using sunscreen on your lips. The other is L-lysine (500 mg). Taking this amino acid 3 periods a week under common circumstances seem to prevent them from happening in the first place. If you're under stress or know that there is something that would be causing stress coming up take it everyday for a week or 2. I have found it to speed restoring too but also use Abreva. L-Lysine is also VERY necessary for anybody with a compromised immune system and will aid the effects of shingles too.
