Herpes or Not?
Hello, I have a serious question and so confused about it. My significant other has been running a fever of 101°-103° for the past three days, sore throat and white pus like mucous on the back of throat, no cough or runny nose. Very painful, body aches and chills, hot and cold natured. The first day was told it was strep throat, they prescribed medicine. The next day tested negative for strep throat and said "it may be a viral infection" so now we still do not know what's going on. Was givin a shot of antibiotics and a prescription for medicine. Its the third day and symptoms are the same.... Could this be oral HERPES or not
this doesn't sound like oral herpes.
if you suspect he's had another partner, have you made him cover his bases with a full std screening and all done at the right times? chlamydia, gonorrhea and ngu after 1 week post encounter. syphilis after 6 weeks. herpes, hiv and hepatitis after 3 months.

Thanks for your response.. He did visit the doctor and was told it could be a viral infection. His symptoms has eased up, and he is feeling better, but I still wonder? Only time and a test will tell.. Until next time Thanks again...
Oral HSV2 is quite rare, not really a plausible possibility. It's much more likely this is just a viral infection going on, not necessarily a herpetic one.
He should be seen by a doctor to try to learn what's going on, consdering his symptoms have not subsided. If they feel there might be some sort of herpetic stomatitis going on, they can swab it.

Ok.. was told that he had sex with another women who possibly has Genital herpes. Looking at his symptoms that I explained earlier I started Googling and found herpes of the Esophagus? Could this be possible or could it just be viral infection like the doctors said it could be? Tryna come to some understanding as to why he's in so much pain right now we're getting no answers on the issue? Please help... Thanks again
Thanks for your response Grace. One more question, Could by any chance he's had unprotected oral sex with someone who has HSV 2 cause a problem of this sort?
this doesn't sound at all like oral herpes.
many viral upper respiratory infections that cause these sorts of symptoms. Even though it's only september, it's already cold/flu season.
