How does one get a fever blister?
My cousin just got a fever blister for the first time, and it looks quite uncomfortable. We're not sure how she got it or what causes them. Can anyone shed some light on this?

In my younger days, we used to get these often when our body heat went up or during heavy colds. It is actually caused by a common virus that stays quiet inside and flares up when you are weak or stressed. Don't worry, it heals on its own in a week or two, just keep it clean.

I used to feel so embarrassed to go out when I got fever blisters on my lip, it really took a toll on my confidence. They usually pop up due to the herpes simplex virus when you are stressed or have a fever. Please don't feel bad about how it looks, it's very common and it will pass soon.

Humare yahan to ise thandi-garmi ka asar bolte hain, which happens when the weather changes suddenly. It is basically a viral sore on the lips. Merely putting a little coconut oil keeps it soft, but make sure not to touch or scratch it with dirty hands.

Fever blisters are triggered by a virus, especially when your immunity drops. I focus on eating a lot of vitamin C-rich fruits and keeping my stomach cool with curd and fresh veggies. Avoid eating too much spicy or acidic food during this time as it can irritate the mouth.

These blisters are just a sign that your body is carrying some inner stress or fatigue. Stay calm, drink plenty of water, and give yourself time to heal. When we keep our mind peaceful, our physical body also recovers much faster from such minor viral issues.
