well, it does sound concerning. I take it that no swab testing was done of the area? it lasted a pretty short time to be herpes, however. Normally speaking, a primary infection would be on your mouth, not in your nose. So given all of this, herpes seems unlikely but you may want to get an antibody test for HSV at some point for greater clarity. And if it comes back, get it swab tested for HSV right away.The IgG test for HSV 1 misses 30% of infections so not very reliable when negative
