Herpes in the throat
So...I'm trying to get this straight....if someone was to have an initial herpes outbreak in the throat....would the next herpes outbreak occur on the lips or would it remain in the throat?
well at this point I recommend calling your provider with all your questions. we are just guessing here and it's impossible for us to know what she was thinking.
Mistakeguy....I really dont know....
gracefromHHP.....they only did a strep throat test and that was pretty much it.....she looked at my throat and told me that it was herpes....now i did go two weeks before that because i had a lot of canker sores.....and she based that diagnosis off of that.....she told me that it was a type of herpes that was curable and that there are lots of kinds of herpes...and that the one i had would just go away......but i dont understand what she was telling me....and as far as herpangina goes....the description that the web gives seems to sum up what my doc said.....it might have been that but she wrote it as acute pharyngitis?...im so confused

what testing did you have done?
did they by chance diagnose you as having herpangina?

Herpes is not a curable virus. So I don't know what your doctor is saying by it being curable.
ok cause my doctor said i had a curable strain of herpes...which makes me think...how many strains are there?...its so weird because i thought herpes was not curable
