Hsv1 or something else

So I was recently said to have been exposed to hsv1 the cold sore one on lips but I have never had an actual cold sore. For the past few months including today every now and then especially at night I get this burning/numbing feeling on the right side of my lips . It also feels like my bottom lip swells on the right side. I never get a blister or sore or anything. My face does break out all over 🤷🏾‍♀️ but it’s an annoying feeling.Is this a symptom or should I go to my doctor and find out what’s wrong.
