Could Herpes cause this?

Could a genital herpes outbreak cause swelling in one of my tonsils along with two small white patches on my tonsil? Only one of my tonsils is affected by this and there is no pain. I have not been tested for herpes but I suspect that I was exposed to it a week and a half ago.

not likely this is related at all. sounds more like an upper respiratory issue.   be seen promptly and get better answers.

Yeh I'd say go get that checked while you can see it. From what I understand until you have an outbreak everything seems normal.. :(
