How To Cure Pus Filled Blisters Below The Lip?
My 6 year old daughter has a small, pus filled blister on her lower lip and one on the skin directly below the lip. She has frequent association with a child who has severe cold sores. We live in a cold, dry climate and she has had a bad cold the last week. What do you think and how should I proceed?

Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems your daughter has got herpes labialis, a kind of viral infection.
I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
Usually i prescribe acyclovir suspension according to weight for 5 days and local application acyclovir cream mixed with mupirocin cream for a week.
Advise plenty of fuid intake.
Hope this will take care of her problem
Thank you
