About a week and a half ago I had gotten a cold sore, and after I told my boyfriend, he still kissed me, until I told him it was contagious. Four days later, he started having getting a canker sore under his tongue and a sore throat. Now his gums are swollen and it seems what appears to be that his taste are missing on a part of his tongue. I can't help but to blaim myself for what's happening to him, but just to be sure that it's only cold sores that is the matter with me I've planned to get myself checked as soon as possible. I've never heard of a cold sore doing that much damage, but can it be possible. By the way this was his first occurence with a cold sore, and I am aware of them being part of the herpes simplex virus, but not to be so harmful.

I've told him to see a doctor,but he won't listen, and all the while he is kinda blaming me for this happening, because he's never experienced something like this before and after he kissed me, he has all that going on with him.

Sounds like your boyfriend got the herpes virus for the first time. If the condition reoccur, it will creat regular cold sores. But for the first time, it generate symptoms like what your friend had. Don't blame yourself though because it's a very commone virus and many people had it when they were so young, they don't even remember it. It's very likely he will get it from someone else later if not from you. Here are some quote from Merkes medicine if you can read and understand them. Basiclly it should be HSV and not something that's very very serious.
"The first oral infection with HSV usually causes sores inside the mouth (herpetic gingivostomatitis). In addition, the person generally feels sick and has fever, headache, and body aches. The mouth sores last 10 to 14 days and are often very severe, making eating and drinking extremely uncomfortable. In some first oral infections, swollen gums are the only symptom; occasionally, no symptoms develop. Herpetic gingivostomatitis most commonly develops in children."

I've had Herpes problem over 3 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site http://herpestreatment.kyma.info that my life changed completely.
I'm feeling so much better now and all of my symptoms are totally gone. I haven't had an outbreak since using that info. Best news: It works even if you’ve already blown hundreds or even thousands of dollars on conventional herpes medication without significant relief…even if you’ve been suffering from herpes for years, and even if your virus is currently in hiding and your doctor claims nothing can reach it.
I know it can work miracles for you if you just let it. See more: Shocking video reveals why Herpes/Cold Sores meds are dangerous

My daughter gets that alot. For her it is a mouth virus, might of heard of it ,hand, foot, and mouth desease. Very uncompfortable. She would gets sore all over gums, swell, When it gets bad she gets really bad breath with it also. Sore throat, sometimes tired and headache with it. There is no set medicine for her when she gets it but it is very contagious. And after the first time he might keep on getting it. My daughter gets it 2 times a year atleast. We were told to mix benadryl liquid with kopectate. and gargle with that a couple times a day. That is all you can do if that is what it is. Hope this helps

The cold sore had nothing to do with a canker sore nor the other problems he is experiencing. He needs to see the doctor and get this checked out. Also canker sores and cold sores are two different things.

if hes never had cold sores before the first outbreak can be especially bad involving the whole mouth and sometimes even with a fever. he'll probably start to get them regularly for the rest of his life but thet they will be the smaller normal cold sore on either the lips or the roof of the mouth

I never heard of something like this happening..Maybe your boyfriend was allergic to something that was on your lips..Or maybe he burned his tastebuds drinking hot liquids..To be on the safe side tell him to see a doctor.

No, he has something else wrong with him. I hope you didn't catch it.
