What Is a Fever Blister?
8. Prevention
Because the herpes virus is so common, it can be all but impossible to give ourselves complete protection against it. However, you will make yourself a lot safer from the virus if you avoid kissing people that appear to have blisters or sores on their lips. Avoiding sharing times like crockery and drinking vessels will also help to keep you safer.
Washing your hands regularly with warm, soapy water will also help make a big difference. If you develop fever blisters regularly then you should try and avoid exposing your lips to harsh weather. If you have regular occurrences then an antiviral medication may be able to help prevent them.
