Fever Blister Home Remedies and Treatments

So far I have complete and total 100 percent success in curing fever blisters. Get a raw plain old fashioned aspirin with no coating. Put a couple of drops of water on it in a saucer and get it to break down into a coarse paste. Put this on the blister area. This has stopped every single fever blister for me and the first time I tried it, the blister was already taking shape. The aspirin paste killed it dead. I initially tried this natural remedy because I had read an article which talked about persons with a chronic fever blister problem undertook a daily aspirin treatment for heart conditions. They noticed a significant reduction in their fever blisters. So I started putting the aspirin right on the spot and so for it has worked flawlessly.

There are lots of food to avoid to keep fever blisters from happening in the future. Fever blisters can be brought on by arginine, and consuming foods high in this amino acid should be avoided. These foods include whole-wheat, oatmeal, seeds, peas grains, peanuts and chocolate. Other foods high in arginine include corn, dairy produce and meat. While these foods don't need to be completely avoided, consumption should be limited. You should also avoid coffee and tea. While foods high in arginine tend to cause fever blisters, foods high in lysine tend to keep fever blisters at bay. These foods include vitamin rich foods that are high in iron, zinc and vitamins A, C and E. Garlic, fruits, green leafy vegetables are all great sources of lysine. Processed food should be avoided.
