Q: My Husband's First Cold Sore!!!!!

My husband and I are both sick with colds. He had a blister pop up on his upper lip today and I think it is a cold sore. Though, all the medical sites say he had to come in contact with another cold sore. This couldn't have happened because we have both been home in bed sick for a week. So my question is what caused this little blister? Was it the fever from being sick? If so why didn't I get one? Someone said he may have had them as a kid and just doesn't remember, help!

Hi... From my understanding you can have the cold sore virus for years and never have an outbreak and then if the conditions are just right an outbreak can occur. Hope you and your hubby are feeling better!!
