                        I get canker sores in my throat all the time.  My Dentist thought they may be due to acid reflux.  Last night I was talking to a friend that also gets sores in her throat and her doctor told her that they were herpes.  Could that be true?  She is really distressed and I SURE hope that her docotor is wrong.  Can you get herpes there?  I have never heard of canker sores being called herpes. I hope that isn't what I have.  If anyone has some insight, please let me know.
