General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Congratulations for losing so much weight, it should help a lot with your hip problems.
As for the cold sore in the lips, they are very common and are related to herpes infection. They happen mostly after periods of certain stress or disease and having a recent surgery may be a possible trigger.
It should normally heal within a week. Meanwhile, you may use acyclovir ointment every 4-6 hours (if they are still with blisters) and also a lip balm to keep your lips moisturized. Try to not lick the lips as saliva causes them to get dry.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,

Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
