How Are Cold Sores And Fever Blisters Caused Post Neck Surgery Relieved?
I had surgery on my neck 4 weeks ago and since then have been experiencing dry, chapped lips that have not gotten better. I have been religious with applying lip moisturizers (and chap stick like products when at work), but they don t seem to do much. Now I am getting cold sores/fever blisters and they are painful and sensitive to food and drink. I have never had anything like this before and am wondering what I should do to turn this around and get back to normal. Thank you, Barbara Olson
