Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Herpes labialis.
It is a viral infection.
Management involves:
1. Analgesic antipyretic like Paracetamol
2. Antihistamine preparations like Allegra
3. Application of anti-biotic ointment over the sores to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
4. A course of Antiviral medications.
5. Maintenance of adequate hydration & nutrition status.
So, kindly consult your Doctor & start treatment as advised.
Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
