Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blisters could be because of the viral infection like herpes zoster infection or it can be pemphigus or pemphigoid. Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out.
If it is a viral infection you can take a course of antiviral drugs like acyclovir.
if it is pemphigus or pemphigoid you can take topical steroids like triamcinolone acetonide (0.1%) 4-5times daily for 1 week.
You can also take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel for the pain. If the lesion does not heal then get the lesion biopsied to confirm the daignosis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
