Viral throat infecti: Here’s the deal: you should see an ear nose and throat doctor and ask them to do cultures of the blisters when they occur; that way you will know more reliably how to treat this. If herpes is present, it is often quite possible to give you the medicine necessary to kill this virus clinically, and that would be the prerogative of either your dermatologist or your your nose and throat doctor.

YES: Get a bacterial and viral culture and treatment based on examination.

Unusual: Cold sores from HSV1 usually involve the margin between the skin and mucous membrane. If they are found at the throat or inside nose, they are unlikely to be from cold sores. Need to consult an ENT doctor.
