Immediate Lip Burning

Started on June 29th, went to a strip club to see a friends band play and was kissed by a stripper. (1 kiss, peck on lips, pulled away) Within minutes of the kiss, my lips started burning. I went to the bathroom and washed them off but the burning continued. The “intense” burning lasted 3 days but has continued to feel tingly for the last 2 months (both lips, sensation moves around – kind of like novocaine is wearing off) Went to doctors (three of them, no tests or diagnosis) By July 22nd Low grade fever set in and sore neck. Dermatology gave me desonide ointment .05% to no help and ran a CBC that was normal. July 26th I went on Acyclovair to see if it would help but did not. July 27th went back to strip club and asked dancer if she had any of the symptoms of lip burning, she said no but that she sometimes uses a lip pucker that makes her lips tingle for 10 minutes or so. By July 30th my lymph nodes under my jawline on each side are swollen and still low grade fever. August 4th tried an antibiotic for 10 days (I think DexClav?) but did not help. Today, 8-26-2013, lips tingle on/off (not as bad as before) but the neck lymph nodes are horrible. Very sore on left side especially. Cant get a doctor to take me seriously. I Saw a dentist today looking for answers but she said my mouth and teeth are fine. I have also been using Vaseline on my lips nightly as per dermatology recommendation and been seeing a counselor to treat anxiety but to no avail. Also tried Xanax with no help. Large doses of IBUProfen seems to help the swollen lymph nodes pain/tenderness. Lips also seem very sensitive now. I was sitting around a campfire last weekend and the heat was very hot on my lips causing them to tingly immediately, but the heat did not effect the rest of my face. Please think about this as I have been turned away elsewhere and am very tired and am in need of some help. Thanks

Lips have nothing to do with a STD. Don't know what it could be.
