At this point, it's too late to bother to use any antivirals to try to help oral herpes heal faster. They will be healed on their own in another week. Keep the lips moist while they heal by using a lip balm of some sort reguarly.

That could be one explanation. Did they take a swab for you? Have you ever tested for HSV1 before? What kissing have you been doing in the week before sores appeared.
