Hi..
I have gone through your query and can very well understand your concern..

As per your query blisters on the side of the tongue of diagnosed as viral infection it can be Herpes Simplex Virus 1 infection causing Cold Sores..

A viral infection causing blisters is contagious and can transfer from one infected individual to a healthy individual via direct contact or through other things like towels, glasses etc..

In case of virus myLanta will not help as it is an antacid and you need to take Antiviral Medication like Acyclovir therapy for prevention of recurring outburst..

Hope this information helps and thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic...
