Hi,
Noted your history of swelling on the left side of throat a month ago, tingle in vagina, tested positive for
herpes, wants to know if
second opinion and check up of husband too.
Your main query is about the herpes.
This sexually transmitted herpes comes and goes. Hence your husband might have said no for going to th Doctor.
Surely yes, second opinion is always the best way as you may get added information and precautions to be taken.
Also get checked for all STDs, who known the outcome.
Since there are no signs of the disease as told by your Doctor, stop worrying.
Your husband should be checked, investigated so that any other associated problems can be found and addressed to.
As for recurrence your Doctors would advise well and you should follow well.
I hope the throat problem you started the query with is alright as you have not detailed anything or asked any further question.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
