Thank you grace really appriciate it :). I'm just a worried well as they call it, I've got a phobia with blood born viruses. The swollen glands only appeared since I've got the cold sore so In Shaa Allah it must be from the cold sore :). You seem to have good knowledge in herpese, do you work in the medical field???
since you already have hsv1, here is a link for more reading for you too.

Owchhhhhhh I'm just happy it isn't type 2 :)
you can have either type in either place.
That's the thing first time I had a cold sore was when I was 16 years old and I had swollen glands then. This is the secound time in my life. So I'm assumeing its because of that. It can't be from any STD related because I haven't had sex for 3 years due to phobia and had my self checked recently. So I think it may be from the Cold sore :)...
I'm just glad it isn't type 2 herpes, but someone can get type 1 on their genitals or is it just type 2???
could be but more likely because something else is going on. typically they don't swell with recurrences. just being within 3 feet of others and breathing as well as touching many surfaces is an easy way for many non-herpes related viruses to be picked up and even though it's not the typical cold and flu season, still plenty of germs going around :(
Thank you grace, sorry one other thing I've got swollen glands aswell under my jaw is that due to the cold sore on my lips???
everything you've asked about can add up to wearing you down to trigger a cold sore. even the heat of a pipe on your lip can be enough "trauma" to trigger one to reoccur. sunlight is also a trigger so not unusual to get one after being out in the sun enjoying yourself in nice weather too.
you didn't catch oral herpes again as you already are aware of.
