If you suspect that you may have HSV2 in the mouth, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms of HSV2 oral infection can include painful sores or blisters on the lips, tongue, gums, roof of the mouth, inside cheeks or throat.

It's important not to self-diagnose based on symptoms alone as they could be due to other conditions. A medical professional will conduct tests such as swabs from lesions for accurate diagnosis.

Receiving an official diagnosis from a healthcare provider will help determine whether it is indeed caused by HSV2 and allow them to recommend appropriate treatment options if needed.
