Could be a strain of herpes. That is what causes cold sores/fever blister. It is a different strain than causes genital herpes though.

You cannot get herpes from foods or the cold. Herpes is caused from a virus that is spread by direct contact. It is moderately contagious and there is no cure. More than half of the entire population has herpes but many have not shown any symptoms. The lesions, which are painful, appear 4 to 7 days after contact. The lesions develop a scab that usually goes away after 10 days. The lesions can appear on the penis, in and around the vagina, the lips and mouth and around the anus.
If you do have active herpes avoid any contact with anyone's mucus membranes...sex organs and lips. The virus then goes dormant in your body. Symptoms reappear in times of stress.

Your common cold sore is a herpe. This is a different strain of herpes. You did just have a cold and that could have caused it. There are many things that can cause them. From the cold weather to some foods. Don't worry, you will live. Just get some good chap stick and use that. There are chap sticks for your case.

Yes you can, especially if the person had anything that looked like a cold sore (Cold sores CAN be a form of herpes) A cold is not a sign of Herpes

You can absolutely get Herpes from kissing. And the first symptoms are flu-like symptoms. Go see your doctor ASAP.
