The biggest problem here is that you wouldn't get fever blisters just because you had a high fever. Fever blisters are a virus (herpes simplex) You should DEFINITELY see your doctor. there is really only one way you could have gotten "fever blisters" inside your mouth. Unless you have had oral sex with someone with genital herpes that's probably not it. It's more than likely a bacterial infection. Judging by the swollen glands, sores, and fever, it sounds like strep pharyngitis. If left untreated it can actually go to your heart and cause infective endocarditis (deadly). PLEASE see your doctor. What's in your mouth is NOT fever blisters!!!!!!!!!!!! These are all very good advise.

They will go away on their own after about 2 weeks. But yeah, they hurt. I've found two things that help. 1) Abreva - an over the counter salve, but that's for EXTERNAL fever blisters (just for future reference). 2) Lysine pills can help make them go away quicker as well. These you can find at health food stores, and you take them internally. As most things, the earlier you take them, the better. In most cases, you just have to let them run their course.

It will help boil out the infection and make them heal faster. Rinse your mouth with peroxide.(don’t swallow any). It will help boil out the infection and make them heal faster.

There are a number of products that can lessen the symptoms. Over the counter, you can use products for canker sores, Ora-Paste may be your best bet. It functions by forming a film over the sore which prevents food, gum, and saliva from irritating the sore and promotes healing. The trick is to keep the sore free from irritation and pain. The more the sore is irritated or touched (be it by your tongue, food, etc) the longer it will take to heal. A prescription product, Kenalog Dental Paste functions in much the same way (only better) and is relatively cheap...but it would require a doctor visit! There are a number of natural products that claim to help, but most of them are worthless. The biggest problem with natural products is that they are regulated as foods, not drugs, by the FDA and rarely contain what they actually advertise too. I mention this only because the previous answer suggested Lysine. Natural products should be approached with caution and should have "consume at your own risk" labels on them!

Another mixture that may be helpful consists of 1-2 tablespoons of Maalox mixed with one-half tablespoon of liquid diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Liquids or ointments with a numbing ingredient such as benzocaine (Anbesol, Orabase, Tanac) help relieve the discomfort of canker sores (fever blisters). Hope this helps!

My Ex was recommended this and it truly worked!! Especially at the onset of the fever blisters. I don't exactly know what the onset feels like, since I have never had them, but he described it as an itchy/scratchy feeling?? I have suggested this remedy to friends or family, and it has been proven to work...100% of the time!!! It has either lessened the reaction, or at least lessoned the severity of the symptoms. Saltwater rinses or salt directly on the affected area helps too! Try starting with 4-6 pills (L-Lysone, available at any drug/grocer/vitamin store) at the onset, followed by 2-4 every 4-6 hours, Your symptoms should improve as well as the length of time that you experience the symptoms. This is a necessary amino acid in fighting this particular problem. I don't have a "scientific" explanation......, I just know that IT WORKS!!!
