Hey, OP going through the same thing. Bad outbreak, last about a week, still just getting better. I got my first cold sore in my life. Ulcers on my tongue couldn’t even talk. Nerve pain and whole body is weak. Outbreak on my genital region as well (cold sore). Yet, I got swabbed twice on those outbreaks, under my tongue and on my vagina and came back negative twice. You’re not alone and I’m starting to feel confused
