Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
Your problems are related to smoking and not the oral sex. Smoking damages the mucosa of the throat thus inviting the micro-organisms to feast on.
My suggestions to you is to stop smoking first, drink plenty of warm water, use povidone iodine throat gargles and continue with the antibiotics; you will definitely feel better.
I wish you good health
Regards
