About a month ago, give or take, I got my first cold sore. Now my upper lip is tingling, burning and tight and I think I'm getting another one.Is it normal to have another one so soon afterwards? And if not, should I see a doctor?

Stress can cause a cold sore to break out. Also, the first break-outs tend to be more closely spaced; later, you develop a little more resistance.
If you use acyclovir cream when it starts tingling, you may be able to avoid a full break-out.
