flare and relapse are pretty much one and the same ... if this keeps up and lasts for more than 24 hours I would venture a guess that it meets the criteria for a relapse since these are sxs you haven't experienced in the past 30 days or so.  

Sorry that your teenager acted stupid - we all did it as teens, with varying degrees of problems and accountability.  I'm glad that there was no bodily injury done to anyone.  

I hope you feel better soon,
Lulu
