How Can Facial Pain While Suffering From Fever Blisters Be Treated?

I have had a fever blister on the left side of my mouth for 12 days and it is not getting better. I have been dousing it with hydrigen peroxide the whole time. When the blister started I had shooting pain on the leftside of my head towards my temple. Day two the pain went to even with my ear and day three the pain to below my ear. I no longer have the soratic shooting of pain. Now my left side of my face hurts. I rarely get headackes and I have never had to take Tylenol to get relief except those three days.
