Usually you get some itching, burning and or tingling symptoms around the lips at the time a break out happens. Herpes usually takes about 2-30 days to show symptoms. Even if you do get a break out on you mouth, you could have had it for a long time. Most people that get cold sores on their mouth get it during child hood by being innocently kissed by some one that has cold sores. they are also very common to have and nothing major to worry over. but they are contagious during a break out so if you get a cold sore don't kiss any one while you have it.
