I dealt with this exact same thing about two years ago—it was brutal. I didn't take any medication at all, and things finally settled down after about ten days of pure misery. Honestly, you probably won't face a situation quite like this again since this was your primary infection with the virus, though Herpes Simplex does stay in your system indefinitely. It’s possible you might see flare-ups later on, but it would likely just be small blisters on the lips, without the fever or the gum inflammation. For me, it crops up roughly every couple of months. 😢
Besides, it is perfectly normal for your body temperature to run slightly higher in the evening than it does in the morning; it can easily creep a little bit above 98.6.

Yeah, OB-GYNs are basically specializing just because every single woman walking through those clinic doors is young, attractive, and incredibly high-maintenance. 🤦

As for this person suggesting they read a book by Matko Marušić—I’d say they clearly haven't actually seen a patient in their life, let alone performed a clinical exam. I guess field mice don't count as medical experience, though. 🙄
