Painful Gums
Although fever blisters usually develop on the lips and around the mouth, they can sometimes occur in a person's mouth, causing some discomfort in the gums. Painful gums are another symptom of fever blisters.
An individual's gums may become red and swollen due to the blisters. This can sometimes lead to an increase in saliva in the mouth, which can cause some drooling. A desensitizing agent or saltwater rinses may help relieve some of the pain.
