Please see your Dr.: If there are recurrent infections, you need a thorough physical examination and some labwork to make sure your immune system is functioning properly.

See your doctor-: Several types of viruses from the herpes family can potentially cause your condition, several of which can be treated with acyclovir. In addition, depending on risk factors, acute HIV infection is a consideration. This can be evaluated by doing some blood work. With these possibilities, get yourself checked out!
