Can Herpangina Relapse Within A Week?

Is it possible to have a relapse within a week of herpangina? My daughter was running over 103 fever for 6 days before she was diagnosed with it. She was well for 8 days and now is running a high fever again and there are small blisters on back of her tongue and she s complaining of a sore throat

Hi...symptoms associated with herpangina are usually short-lived and resolve within one week. But as it has recurred within8 days now, I would think about alternative diagnosis like EBV infection. Herpangina is unlikely to recur like this.
