A member asked:

What could be the link between: low fever, herpes, swollen tonsils / other neck ganglions? i took an aspirin to reduce the fever sensation. what else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe strep throat: A person can get herpes lip sores recurrences when he is stressed with another infection such as a strep throat. His primary care doctor can do a rapid strep test and get a result in 5 minutes. Antibiotics are needed for strep throat.
