Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have just been diagnosed with influenza and the next morning I woke up with both lips with blisters all over them and the roof of my mouth is very sore to where it hurts to eat anything. Can you please tell me what may b going with me. I kinda have an idea?
Brief answer: You are suffering from Herpes labialis with influenza
Detailed answer: The painful blisters on both the lips and the roof of your mouth is due to a virus infection known as Herpes labialis. These blisters erupt whenever there is accompanying fever due to influenza or change of weather, stress, etc. Your present problem can be effectively treated by the following: Tab Acyclovir, 400 mg, taken orally (by mouth) 5 times a day for 5 days, decreases the pain duration and healing time. You may also use the sunscreen to protect your lips during day time. For prevention of future attacks of herpes you are advised to use the same medication before the eruption of full blisters. I hope I tried to solve the problems.
