If you have had herpes for more than just a couple of weeks then this isn't likely to be related to your genital herpes. Many things can cause sore throats - you need to continue following up on this with your provider to get answers.

OKay thanks, but just wondering, if you could get herpes in your throat?

The initial oral herpes infection can cause symptoms there. Recurrences aren't there though.
