Has anyone been through this? I've had sores on my palate that recurr every 1 to 2 weeks. Never had this or didn't notice anything like it until Jan 2022. I have always had classic cold sores on my lips since my childhood. And now it's sores on my palate one after another almost feels constant for last 4 months and counting. I did get sick with upper respiratory virus prior to my first intraoal outbreaks in ajan with possibly covid but I never tested. O received Pfizer 2vaccones and a booster in Nov. Never had an ob following vaccine or boster. I have had cold sores 1 to 2x a year on my lips my entire 20 years I've had this until Jan. After Jan I have not had cold sore on lip only inside and all over my hard palate. I'd doctor tested me. Hsv1 igg came back high positive which I expected and hsv2 igg was neg <0.9. I am married to my husband for more than 10 years and he is neg for hsv1 and 2. I pcr swabbed the palate sore and it came back neg for hsv but I was taking Valtrex 1 gm daily. I have been taking Valtrex 1 gm daily, lysine, monolauron, olive leaf, vitamin d,c , zinc, circumin, and eating very simple diet which I avoid nuts, chocolate, gluten, no caffeine. I drink 1 decaf green tea in the morning. What is wrong with me??? I'm healthy otherwise but I feel like I have some disease or major immune problem. They tested me for hiv and it came back negative. I want to get another pcr swab or 2 until I can prove it is hsv1 as I believe it is. My husband doesn't think it is bc it is such is such unusual presentation and does not make sense to him. All I know is there is something very wrong with my mouth and I am losing patience as I have tried so many things but can't seem to prevent or stop the sores!!!
