Fever blisters, also known as cold sores, are small, painful, fluid-filled blisters that appear mainly around the lips, mouth, and nose. They are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1). The virus remains dormant in the body and reactivates during stress, fever, infections, weather changes, menstrual periods, or weakened immunity. The blisters usually appear in clusters and burst and crust over in a few days. Homeopathy works by strengthening immunity and reducing recurrence frequency and severity.

Causes

The main cause is Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection. Once infected, the virus stays in nerve cells and reactivates during physical or emotional stress, sunlight exposure, cold/flu bouts, lack of rest, or lowered immunity. It may also spread through kissing, sharing cups, lip balms, or close contact during the active blister stage.
