Check CVS for OTC stuff.

Omm ok. Any OTC stuff you recommend?

Carmex... It has beeswax in it.

It'll dry out that sore in 3 days max.

Until you get some... wipe your finger on the side of your nose, and then put the oil from your skin on the blister. I remember reading that in the Doctor's Book of Home Remedies a long time ago.

Is it inside or outside the mouth? if it's outside try carmax very little white with yellow top tin can. Heels them in a snap. If it's inside I always just use the salt thing on myself, luckily Tyler has never had one inside his mouth.

I know I have a form of herpes..but not the kind that is contagious. IT is hereditary...

I thought that any open blister can be contagious.

Herpes Simplex Type II (I think that's the oral kind) IS CONTAGIOUS while the sores are active.

I wouldn't recommend any kissin', drink sharin', etc. while the sores are blooming.

Sleuth and Rose are correct. Very Contagious.

At the very first sign of a fever blister start taking L-Lysine. Usually knocks 'em right out. Also Abreva is very good, but costs $16-$18 for a very small tube. Both are OTC.
