Introduction
After two days of high fever, numerous small blisters appeared on the lips, likely due to herpes virus infection. As the condition progresses, the blisters may enlarge and increase in number, accompanied by local pain, redness, swelling, and itching. Fluid may leak out if the blisters break. These blisters are usually self-limiting and typically resolve spontaneously within about 7 days. Avoid puncturing them during this period, maintain good hygiene, and use anti-inflammatory medication appropriately if symptoms become severe.

Fever lasting for two days has led to the appearance of multiple small blisters on the lips, likely caused by herpes virus infection. It is recommended to maintain proper local care and, if necessary, use medication as directed by a physician. Specific measures are as follows:

Elevated body temperature can reduce immunity. Prolonged high fever may cause skin warmth and redness, making the body susceptible to herpes virus infection, resulting in lip blisters. Initially, the blisters are small, but they gradually enlarge and increase in number as the condition progresses. This may also lead to local pain, swelling, redness, and itching. Once ruptured, fluid may exude from the blisters.

Blisters caused by the herpes virus are typically self-limiting and usually resolve spontaneously within about 7 days. During this period, avoid puncturing the blisters with needles or other unsterilized sharp objects to prevent bacterial infection. Maintain good local hygiene, avoid using cosmetics around the lips, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods such as chili peppers and pepper. If symptoms are severe, topical application of erythromycin ointment or chlortetracycline ointment under medical guidance may help reduce inflammation and swelling.
