Not that I'm aware of ...... lots of people get flu but not everyone breaks out with blisters on their nose and mouth unless they already have HSV1 which Flu often triggers in and around the mouth ......
Other than that I'm not terribly sure what you mean ......

I mean the symptoms of a primary herpes infection (not outbreak). Flu like symptoms, blisters all over the INSIDE of the mouth. No coldsores.

Herpes is fairly distinctive,hot,blistery,itchy and can be quite swollen too in some cases I don't think there are many other everyday things that look or feel similar to Herpes Cold Sores .....
