Suggest Treatment For Viral Infection And Blisters On My Tongue
Hi. I have a viral infection. Which has caused blisters on my tongue and throat. I also have a cold sore or canker blister on my bottom lip. I am no having little tiny bumps on the edge of my lip. Could they be caused from the Carmex I've been putting on my lips? They itch.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
The history and symptoms are favoring herpes simplex 1 infection. This csn remain dormant in nerve root ganglion for life time. Whenever there is decreased in immunity the virus will activate and produce these symptoms.
I would suggest you to follow
1. Take oral antiviral drug like famcyclovir, this will not cure the disease but it will prevent further complications.
2. Tab ibuprofen will reduce the pain.
3. Keep the area dry by applying antiviral cream.
Thank you.
