What Causes Blisters On Lips Following Fever?

default
Posted on Thu, 5 Jun 2014
Question: I have a low grade fever 99.3 + or - pale stool and had 4 or five blisters on my lip for about 3 days. I thought initially I had a mild sinus infection because the tissues around my eyes seemed very puffy.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it will be very difficult to give you a diagnosis based on this history but still we can discuss the options .

The blisters on your lips can be due to herpes labialis that can occur following any infection as you have mentioned you had a sinus infection. Plus I will like to advise you to undergo CBC , RFT , LFT and other routine testing as you give a complaint of puffy eyes and pale stools . An evaluation for typhiod fever is also recommended . Until and unless investigations are with us it will be difficult.

So, I will advise you to see a physician for this as examintion is also very importanat to look for any other signs as rash , organomegaly etc.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
