Is this a cold sore

Hi,

I had a very sore throat and conjunctivitis and the doctor prescribed 2 lots of antibiotics.

21 days later i noticed a little blister on my top lip which was stinging  little with a dot in the middle



Is this a cold sore if anyone can tell by looking at it?

Hi,

I have never had cold sores before so not sure if this is a cold sore or blister?

Could it be a blister?

Hello,

Just by the picture, I cannot tell, but, I do know that lots of anitbiotics can sometimes cause cold sores. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for something to counter-act it.
