thank you for your opinion on the matter. yes i have had lots of aches and pains, flu-like symptoms, so hopefully it is just the flu.
Hi
Exposure to cold sores may not necessarily indicate that you will be manifesting the sore. Exposure to someone with the cold sores increased the likelihood of infection though. At this point, this may be the common colds also. Flu may present with joint pains, headaches and fever. I suggest that you take plenty of fluids. Drink adequate amount of water and eat well. Get enough ventilation also. The sores may not manifest however, HSV type 1 infection may not be readily excluded here. Infectious mononucleosis should also be ruled out here.
