Hi, strep b symptoms are urinary track infections, fever and respirtory infections and your puss breakouts would not be consistant with strep b. To diagnose both strep b and herpes, the best way is a swab of the sore and with herpes it would need to be taken within 48 hours after they appear.
What tests did they do to confirm you have herpes?
They did a swab of it like you said but I still want to do the blood test
