Hi everyone last week i developed a really bad sore throat and a fever. I had a headache and noticed white patches on on my gums. I was worried and went to the emergency room the Doctor said that i had the coxsackie virus and that it isnt herpes 1. I am freaking out because I am going to my primary doctor tomorrow as a follow up. Im afraid he will say its herpes 1 i dont have any sores on my lips or anything either. It seems like herpes and coxsackie are similiar can you share some light on this? Im really worried.View Thread
