Is it possible to have outbreaks back to back for over a month with only like one day in between? And does flu like symptoms/ fever/ aching only happen with the first outbreak? Is a sore throat with white on it considered a herpes symptom?

    According to research, the first outbreak is typically the worst/most painful and then they get better. Speak with your doctor about your recurrent " outbreaks" . sore throat with white spots sounds like tonsillitis to me but im not a doctor..

    Your best bet is to go to a doctor! GOODLUCK!

    everyone with herpes will have different symptoms of herpes outbreaks. Some people only experience prodromal herpes symptoms when an outbreaks come, while other may suffer from herpes sores. Even so, herpes outbreaks will be less severe than the first one. If you usually get a herpes outbreak, you should ask your doctor again
