Brief Answer:
yes this can happe

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
There are many infections that can be transmitted with oral sex. Yeast is one but others like gonorrhea and herpes are more serious.
I suggest that you see your doctor for an exam.
Confirmation that it is yeast would be good and testing for other infections is a good idea.
If it is just yeast you should be able to clear it up with the nystatin, but other infections may require antibiotics or other medications.
If you have blisters or ulcers or if the pain is bad this could be herpes.
Please see a doctor as soon as possible.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
