How quick can a sore develop?
Hey just wondering how quick after kissing someone could a sore possibly develop. Is it possible that 7 hours after a kiss, tingling could be present already. I have frequent canker sores, but dont get cold sores. My lip is swollen and feels strange and not sure if a sore is coming. Thanks.
no, a newly acquired oral herpes infection would not present with symptoms 7 hours after acquiring it.
If your lip is swollen for 4 days now, it's time for follow up with your provider.

Thanks. But i guess I was asking is 7 hours enough time to have any symptoms, like the "tingling" feeling. It's 4 days now and there is nothing there yet, but my upper left lip is swollen pretty bad. Seems to be the worst when getting up in the morning. I have been using chap stick to keep them wet. Anything you know will be appreciated.
It would take a few days before you'd see a cold sore. If you are concerned, follow up on this with your provider.
Are you putting moisturizer on your lips in case this is just chapped lips?
