People don’t acquire HSV 2 from receiving oral sex (at least I don’t’ think any of the experts have seen that ever). What people get is HSV 1. But your symptoms honestly don’t sound like HSV 1 genital infection to me. I would caution you against the use of so many topical medicine, particularly steroid cream which should have very limited duration of use.
