You should just follow your doctor's advice. In the meantime, relax. All this has nothing to do with your sexual adventure.
The additional information does not change my opinion. This doesn't sound at all like herpes, which usually would cause lesions throughout the mouth, not the localized patch you describe; and within 24 hours the "blisters" would have become very painful oral sores. Most likely the only thing you could pass to your wife or child is your viral respiratory infection.
Of course the way to know for sure is to see a health care provider; it is pointless to try to learn the definite cause by online searching. There is nothing more I can do.
First about the ache in your thigh: That has nothing to do with any of this. You can't get genital herpes by oral sex, and you used a condom for genital sex. And herpes doesn't first show up with thigh pain.
People can acquire oral herpes by performing oral sex on someone with genital herpes. But if that had happened, you probably would have had overt, painful blisters or sores of the mouth and lips; the first infection always shows up exactly where the body comes in contact with a partner's infection-- and presumably the oral sex did not primarily involve your nose! Anyway, catching oral herpes this way is very rare. Finally, herpes symptoms don't show up in only 2 days.
There is no reason to suppose you have anything but a garden variety respiratory viral infection -- whether actual inluenza or something similar. Almost certainly not herpes or any other STD. You may have caught the flu from your sex partner, but 2 days is a bit too soon for symptoms to start. Most likely your illness has nothing to do at all with the sexual exposure.
Of course see a health care provider if your symptoms persist or you otherwise remain concerned. But don't worry about STDs.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
And also can genital herpes lead to the mouth on it's on? Can it go on to the roof of your mouth to the point where you can't even eat? White little bumps in back of your tounge related to gh?
I have been diagnosed with genital herpes since April. I've had 3 outbreaks already and they hurt so much. This past week I've been discharging alot with burning and irritation on the outside of my vagina. I also have noticed tiny little bumps on my upper lip and one tiny red bump towards the corner. About two days ago I lifted up my upper lip and noticed a couple tiny red bumps. Could it be what I'm eating? I have taken lysine but I'm not sure if it is really working. What can I do to keep this virus under controll and stop the symptoms from getting worse?
I just took a blood test and my igg came back positive for herpes and igm came back negative if I do have genital herpes and somehow gave it to my wife and we perform oral sex regular before finding out that we have it for sure can genital herpes infected your mouth and face like. Oral herpes does? Cause I don't want blisters on my face or view wise mouth.

A related discussion,
Too much vicodin? was started.
This also does not change my opinion or advice. You don't describe anything that sounds abnormal to me; seems like you're just paying too much attention to normal variations in the appearance of penile skin. But if you are concerned, show the area to a dermatologist.
No more comments, please. This thread is over.
Thanks again for walking me through this. I have one more scenario to run by you.
I originally stated that I was feeling a little raw in a small area on my penis, so I went back to take another look. I found a small cluster of 5-6 pin-sized (tiny) little whitish bumps. I have been feeling the irritation for about 2 days now. I have dark skin so I can't really tell if there is any major discoloration. I am uncircumsized and found them when I pulled back the foreskin, under my penis. When the skin is released, the area sits at the very tip of my penis and it is a little more sensitive than other part of my foreskin. And as the events are coming back to me, I am recalling that I might have briefly pressed against her vagina unprotected (1 second max).
Excuse me for sounding paranoid, but there seems to be a lot of new things going on at the same time. Thanks for bearing with me.
I know you said that nothing I have described sounds like herpes so far, but would this new situation change things?
Thank you very much. i'll try to relax and I'll let you know if anything else comes up until I see my doctor. I hope you are right and I am just worrying myself over nothing.
When I go see my doctor, is there a specific type of test I should expect or look for?

Thank you for you reassurance, but I have a little more to share.
I don't know if I mentioned this, but it has only been 8 days since my sexual encounter. My flu started within two days and I am finding small clusters of blisters inside my mouth & lips as of today.
I did a more thorough exam of my mouth and I found a cluster of small white specs inside my mouth, on my cheek lining by my last molar, small white spec clusters on both inside corners of my mouth and some irritation on my gums. The cluster by the molar is surrounded by what appeared to be a small (5mm) dark red scab (blood-blister). I scraped it off, it was hard and it bled when I removed it. I am not feeling any pain there, but I do know that this wasn't there last week.
I am married and have a small two-year-old daughter and I am concerned about passing any of this on to them.
Does any of this sounds like herpes, now that these new symptoms have arisen today?
