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.

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

   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.”
