My question was regarding herpangina. About a month ago, I had a sudden fever and than an instant severe sore throat....I couldn't swallow so couldn't eat or drink anything for 3 days. After about 6 - 7 days I was pretty much back to normal, the doctors thought I had strep throat and I was treated for that. Now almost exactly two weeks after I got better, I came down with another infection. This a different doctor looked at me and thought I had herpangina....I can see whitish bumps on the back of my tongue. The difference is that the pain isn't as bad this time and its lasting longer? Is it possible that it was herpangina the first time and I am having the same infection on right after the other?
