Could it be Oral Herpes?

Hi recently i shared a lollipop with someone and i pop his lollipop into my mouth twice which means the lollipop has his saliva on it. After 6 days post exposure, i have a fever of 37.8c but no visible blisters or sores are found.

Only symptoms were flashes of mild headaches, chills and fever.

For the previous few days my temperature is about 36.8c to 37.0c. Can i know if i have caught herpes in this incident?

Hi feelingundone,

Very much thankful for your reply! Relieved to hear that the risk is low. Sorry, i am just too anxious about this.

To add on, Today i just spotted a few white ulcers at the middle - back of the throat. is this normal?

This is a very low risk for hsv. Saliva is not an efficient way to transmit hsv. I wouldn't be concerned.

You can rest easy as you didn't get hsv from this.
