have been terribly ill since sunday, but woke up with these sores yesterday morning and they’ve just progressed so much worse. took valaclyclovir oral dose as prescribed as soon as i was able to yesterday afternoon and acyclovir topical cream. orajel cold sore treatment as well. i’ve had these since i was a child but never once have gotten them with such severity or even swelling. i took advil for the pain and inflammation but damn this really hurts and makes me feel horrible :( can’t help but feel like this is a curse
