Medical (general) / fever blister
English term or phrase: fever blister
if you had fever blister, visiting should be postponed. I had found the translation as a ampollas febriles. Is that the right term?

Thanks

Herpes labial, o herpes simple oral. Aunque es un término correcto, prefiero usar "ampolla febril" o "fuego" si estoy en mi pais.
