What does herpes in the back of the throat look like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulcerated sores.: Herpes of the pharnyx is painful, and after the initially symptoms of pain, red sores will develop followed by a grey center. If you think it might be herpes, than a brief course of Acyclovir should clear it up. See your pcp!
