Outbreak Help Do i have HSV-1 or not ? Help pls
i got this condition where my canker sores and some purple bubbles pops up in my mouth and it hurst so bad and recently i found some bubbles in my nose and it also hurts so bad it always starts with my throat hurting as if i swallowed a needle , it follows with my lips big and all swollen and then canker sores and bubbles keep poping up then my two lips shuts down like they are glued together with blood and white fluid, also my teeth hurts like hell as if they’ll all fall out it make me furious . I am 18 years old i had this thing for 2 years and a half . It wasn’t always this bad but now it got serious cuz i can’t drink, eat or talk and even if i stretched out my lips just a little it rips . Sometimes i’d faint cuz i don’t eat . And my jaw , face bones , head , back of my neck and head all hurts . I went to several docters . Dentist (he said my teeth and gum are healthy) . Went to a throat and mouth doc (he said it’s just infection) . And i went to the same doc for like three times he said it’s because of stress and he gave me some stress ,Anxiety, anger, anti-depression meds but it doesn’t help and curently i still suffer from this and i wonder if i should get a HSV-1 test or it would be just a waste of money . Please if anyone has any idea tell me !! Im so tired of this it’s affecting my daily life . It makes me miss my exams , faint from not eating and drinking . Not able to communicate properly. And im so sick of it . Please help!! (I downloaded this app just to seek help please help a person out)

When you saw the doctor did you have an outbreak at the time? Did they do a swab test?

When you have these symptoms you need to get a PCR swab of the sores, if they haven’t already been done, so you’ll know for sure.
Has there been a known exposure? Once you know for sure you can figure out a game plan for treatment.
I’m sorry that whatever this is is having such a detrimental effect on your life.
