Is this a herpes cold sore on my tongue?

I think I have a coldsore on the side of my tongue? I also got a cold and last week I had dental fillings for cavities- idk if that has anything to do with it, but I'm just saying. Is there a way to make them go away any faster ? What can I do? Start taking acyclovir? What food should I avoid? It's a small coldsore and its sore and red wish I could show someone lol

Any suggestions ?

It's probably a canker sore ... herpes sores don't show up on the tongue. :) I know it feels like when you first get it that herpes will show up EVERYWHERE, but it just doesn't happen like that. ;)

I love you already wow

Thanks ya made me feel better and i stopped freaking out lol

Was at the doctors today and asked about a canker sore, she assured me that a canker sore is NOT herpes :) I had the same concern as you.

I have also been concerned about sores on the inside of my mounth if it could be herpes. I have always had canker sores since I was a kid. But it was one at a time. Maybe its a coincidence but after I got herpes they show up in 2 and once in 3, so I wonder if now its herpes causing the sores. In case its herpes, would it feel different from a normal canker sore? would I feel itchy too?
