herpes or chapped lip?

Hi i was out with friends 2 nights ago. And a friend was drinking. she offered me some so she gave it to me it was in a Gatorade bottle so i squirted a bit not even a sip in my mouth (didn't touch the cap or anything). Anyways im not sure if she had herpes but for the rest of the night i was thinking about it (i saw a video so it got me paranoid). I got home twenty minutes later and i put rubbing alchohal on my lips and also after shave. I know this is not a good idea because it can irritate the skin. about 2 hours after that i started getting chapped lip and my lips got a bit cracked. I went to be and when i woke up my lips were still chapped, all day my lips were chapped and the day after that (today) their still chapped. I so far have not had any symptoms ( i know it takes a while to grow symptoms but i heard it usually shows up within two days). Can someone please provide feedback as i am a very paranoid and scared kid. (17)

you did not contract herpes from sharing a drink with someone.

sounds like you've chapped and irritated your lips at this point!
