How do fever blisters happen?

Question

My friend had a fever blister recently and it looked quite painful. I get these small blisters near my mouth sometimes when I'm sick, and I'm wondering if they are the same thing. How exactly do they occur?

My son gets these fever blisters every time his immunity drops or he catches a cold. It is actually because of a common virus that stays dormant inside the body and pops up when we are tired or sick. Just make sure they dont scratch it or touch other parts of the face, and let it heal naturally.

Honestly, fever blisters are very common and usually triggered by stress, too much sun exposure, or a sudden fever. They are highly contagious when watery, so keep your towels and utensils separate for a few days. If it is happening too often, best to show a doctor who might give you a mild cream to soothe it.

Beta, don't worry, these tiny blisters are old enemies of ours. In our times, whenever we had a bad stomach or high fever, these would show up around the lips. Keep your body cool, drink lots of water, and it will dry up and go away in a week.

These blisters have the worst timing, seriously! They love to appear right before an interview or a family wedding just to ruin your photos. Just a tiny virus having a party on your lip because you got stressed, so chill out and apply a cold compress.

I used to get these frequently when my thyroid levels were completely messed up and my immune system was low. Do get some basic blood tests done if this keeps happening to you. A quick visit to a general physician can help rule out any underlying deficiencies.
