Ok so Im writing you for my husband. Im pretty sure I have herpes type 2 and about 2 weeks ago we had sex then he came down with his throat hurting very badly, his throat swelled and turned white, he has no other symtoms of H1 anywhere else is it possible to get H1 only in the throat, He went to the ER the other day they did a strep test that turned out to be negitive then followed up with a doctor the next day. Now hes on an 500mg antibotic 2x a day, a antiviral 500mg 3x a day and vicoden every 6 hrs. What could this be and if it is herpes type 1 is there anything he can do or take so that he dosent have to go through this pain agine he had to miss 3 days of work because of this, we have to do something to make this more managable.
Thank you,
TA
