Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Drinking hot tea, salt water gargling 2 to 3 times a day will help to control sore throat. It is possible that you might have got infection after oral sex. But worry not. Try above mentioned treatment for 2 to 3 days. It will subside.
It is advisable to consult your nearest doctor if your symptoms are not reducing. He may suggest you to go for throat swab. Treatment will be usually based on the results of throat swab.
I hope this helps.
If you have any other queries I'll be happy to help.
Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
