First outbreak? Is it always like this? Feel hopeless
I’m 27m, long story short I was intimate with someone I trusted and yeah. Started off feeling like I had the flu, migraines late at night, little pink thing on my lip, thought nothing of it. 3 days in throat feels like it’s got razor blades in it I maybe thought it was tonsillitis. Anyway that settles a bit, I think I’m getting better. Man was I wrong. My lips is fucked! Another comes through and the original pink one has got worse, they are so painful , the canker sores on my gum. My lips etc has been awful the last 4 days, now the last 2 days it’s just my gums in general and my teeth , the pain is excruciating, I can barely eat without my teeth feeling extra sensitive , I look ugly as hell. My lip is the size of a balloon from the swelling. Is this normal for a first outbreak, I got nothing down below it’s only on my face, could it be hsv 2 orally? But in general, for a first outbreak is this normal? Does it get better? How long did it take for you?
Thanks for reading much appreciated
