Noticed Small Ulcers & Dry Mouth

I went to visit friends and the 77 yr. old woman had a swollen lip with blisters,sores, she sneezed I was next to her. Now I have same problem and small ulcers in my mouth which now all of a sudden I have dry mouth. I used oral 3% peroxide gargle I bought at Wal-Mart . My lips are burning and dry. I have NEVER had any problems EVER with ulcers or dry lips etc. What can I do ? I called to ask what she had but she said it was only dry lips. I know her husband and her had Oral sex, which I never had.The doctor didn't seem very concerned and it's been since March and I'm still not back to normal.
