Cold Sore On The Lip. Numbness In The Lips. Is It Normal?
I have a cold sore about 10 days ago. It was healing but on Friday last week, it bled as if some small veins were ruptured. It stopped after 5 mins of pressure. It happened about 4 times or so. On Sunday, I felt a pressure on my front teeth from my lower jaw. Today, my lip is numb and more pressure on my teeth. I feel slightly warm but I haven t take my temperature to know for sure yet. Is it normal for cold sore blister or is it my teeth?

A cold sore which is caused by the herpes virus can cause some tingling in the lip. Usually the tingling is in the very early stages of the outbreak. I recommend you see your dentist soon. The pressure in your lower jaw and teeth could be due to a tooth infection.
Good Luck!
