How to Treat a Blood Pimple?
If you can’t get to your dentist immediately, there are a few remedies to try for your blood blister:

Applying ice directly to the oral blister can significantly minimize the swelling. Put ice after the trauma inside your mouth to help prevent the formation of blood blisters.
In case it has already formed, heal the blood pimple by putting ice on the painful area. Hold it for 5-10 minutes and repeat as needed, 2-3 times every day. Moreover, minor pressure can minimize bleeding if there is any.
Cucumber slices
Cucumber helps in tissue healing and gets rid of oral lesions. Place a slice of cucumber multiple times daily on that blister till it heals.
Chamomile tea

Mouth sores due to either fever, blood blisters, or canker sores all visually appear to be red. They may seem the same at first, but they are not. Few of the distinguishing factors are there.
A cold sore, also known as fever blisters, give intimation before popping up front. The alerts include tingling, itchy, or even burning sensations sometimes. After that, the site rises and forms a sore. Whereas a blood blister casually appears in the mouth without a call.
Canker sores are more like a red-colored bubble that has a thin white or yellow lining. On the contrary, mouth blood blisters visually appear dark blue or purple because of blood.
