Cold Sores are Herpes.
80% of the American population has oral herpes.
It's infectious, but not deadly. Don't kiss anyone or share a drink until a week or so after the sores go away, just in case.
You can go to the doctor to have it tested, because it could just be some other kind of infection.
Still, don't kiss anyone.

Get checked with a doctor. It may be cold sore.
Cold Sores
Herpes simplex is caused by a virus called HSV. HSV are of two types- HSV1 and HSV2. HSV 1 normally causes oral herpes or cold sores. The virus is normally contacted during childhood when a child is kissed by an infected person. Though HSV2 can also occur in the oral area, it rarely causes oral herpes. But the virus that causes cold sores can easily cause genital herpes. Let us find out more about cold sores.

I have not had it before but I have a friend with similar symptoms. Don't let anyone tell you different, and don't go crazy or anything for it is normal in today's society. Cold and fever sores are a forms of herpes, and I recommend you do what she did. Visit your doctor before they go away so they can give you proper treatment.

If it is on the inside of your lip it is a canker sore. If it is on the outside of your lip it is a cold sore. They both hurt....a lot, but they are harmless. They just have to run their course, which is usually a few days and then they will naturally take care of themselves.

I would get some cold sore medicine. Try abreva. If i doesn't go away in a week, you should probably go to the doctor cuz it might be some herpes thing.

Yes, you should be concerned.
It sounds like you have herpes. Cold sores are the same thing as oral herpes.
