Dear Deedra,

I believe that you may have a viral symdrome. It might be CMV, EB virus or even type 1 Herpes. Have you had cold sores with this? I don't think there is anything much to worry about. These sores will subside and you will be fine. As long as you are able to void without difficulty, it will likely get better in about 3-5 days. If you are not better, I would definitely see someone soon.

Hope it helps.
