hello Terri, the doctor said it wasnt a coldsore and gave me some cream for it. im hoping this will return my lips to normal in a few days. i will keep you updated in my lips and genital area, thank you for your help
No the first doctor didnt do any testing. And no blister have formed in 7 days. Im going back to the second doctor today and hoping its an different king of infection.
I suppose there is a chance that you acquired HSV 1 genitally. However, that was two weeks ago. If you've never had HSV 1 before, and you are looking this closely, I think you would have noticed something by now.
Did the person that you saw for the cold sore evaluation do any testing of the swollen lip? Has the lip swelling turn into anything more, like a blister?
The antiviral pills were taken too late in the process to make any difference about infection. If you had taken them within an hour or so, maybe, but not a week later.
If the lip situation returns, I would ask that a swab test be done to see if it might be herpes. If it doesn't, I would move on.
Terri
also there is no pain, itching or tingling on the sore on my lip
