What Could Cause Cold Sores Inside The Nostrils After Having Fallen Sick?

Why do I have cold sores inside my nose? This has happened the last two times I have been sick (within last 3 months). Could it be an allergy? I have had fever blisters on my lip and outside the nostril before but never inside until recently.
Thank you!

Hello

Although i cannot tell you for sure but generally fever with blisters is due to a herpes viral infection and i think you should get yourself checked for it.
The infection ay be spreading to your inner nose and i would like you to meet your ent/skin doctor for further advice and guidance.
Thanks
