I am 20 years old female and I suffered from herpes labialis. I was infected since I was only 9 or 10 years old. At first, there were only some blisters at the corner of my month. After a week, my lips started to swell and I applied topical acyclovir cream on that corner. The blisters now already disappeared and only some redness left behind, however, my lips kept swollen. I wondered whether it is cheilitis induced by hsv-1. But my cold sore was nearly healed why my lips still being swollen? What should I do?

Hi, it takes time for recovery after herpes infections. You may take symptomatic treatment while the swelling subsides.
