Is this a cold sore?

Hi all. Been tested HSV-1 and 2 negative 2 months back. Last Saturday, I made out with a girl. Fast forward 5 days, I was experiencing burning lips and fordyce spots started appearing. My doctor suspected that it's from lip licking because I was being rather paranoid. However, I woke up today to find the peak of my upper lip slightly swollen. Here are two photos of a close-up. Can someone tell me if this is a developing cold sore or maybe some sort of allergy?
