How to Treat Fever Blister on 16 Month Old Girl

Fever blister is called herpes type 2. It is a kind of virus living in human's body and when you've weal immune system or lack of sleep you're tend to get it. Fever blister is aero-forbic. Try to make her rinse with a little bit of salty water off and on, especially after eating. Keep it clean and dry. Discard the toothbrush immediately and replace a new one. Yogurt seems to help and keep away from nuts, chocolate, peas, or spicy food. If I had blister, I normally take Lysine (amino acid) and it really help. And good luck!

HI, I was wondering if her heart condition has anything to do with it??? I guess I am just trouble shooting but isn't a fever blister triggered by stress or a low immune system?? I know that Lysine works very well in adults but I have no idea of what dosage you would give a child??? SOrry I am not much help... maybe you should talk to your regular nurse who is familiar with her whole history??? GOOD LUCK!!

Our pediatrician always told us to do this for oozing lip injuries, and it works wonders. Steepa regualar tea bag, then take it out of the water and let it cool. Once it is cool, place it on the spot for a few minutes. The tanins in the tea will heal a wound like that very quickly. My young ones would allow me to do this while they sat on my lap watching Barney. The other thing you can do is let her suck on a popscicle/juice pop. That helps with swelling.

I'd check inside her mouth for other blisters/ulcers, generally in children that young if they have one it's because of the coxsackie virus (check hands and feet for rash too). If not, call the nurses hotline or something cause i wouldn't know what to tell you.
