A member asked:

Recently had sex with girl. sore showed up on tip of tongue that i thought was a canker sore. there are white sores on throat and tonsils. tonsils and throat are swollen. nothing on genitalia though. is this more likely straight herpes or tonsillitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe strep,flu,etc.: Tongue and throat symptoms can be from viruses, strep throat, allergies, etc... It can be difficult to tell what the cause is. If symptoms only last 1-2 days, it was likely allergies, irritation, or a mild cold. Doctors have rapid 5-minute tests for strep, so a primary care doctor can diagnose strep and start antibiotics. Other possible viral infections are mono and oral herpes. Doctor can check.
