Give doctor a call: Oral Herpes-1 is considered a universal virus in humans, meaning that the majority of people have caught it by adulthood. Many catch it as kids, from parents or other family members. The initial infection can be gingivostomatitis, which is inflammation and sores on the throat, gums, etc., in the mouth. The recurrences are the single cold sores on the lips. Maybe one's doctor can prescribe a med.

Yes: this is a common prodromal symptom. Valtrex, Denavir, etc. started now may reduce the effects.
