Brief Answer:
If nothing else worth mentioning then respiratory infection is likely

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Tingling lips or even the tongue with a sore throat can be symptoms of many different conditions, but the most likely is an upper respiratory tract infection.

Some serious conditions also present with flu-like symptoms initially, including the symptoms you are experiencing, so the primary thing I am suspecting at this point is a respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotic coverage. So if you have nothing else worth mentioning like recent sexual contact, excess alcohol consumption, etc; then we should fixate on the upper respiratory infection.

Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Well, I did have a recent sexual act, but It wasn't intercourse, it did consist of oral sex.

Brief Answer:
I don't think there is anything to worry about :)

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Well sexual contact is a distant possibility, especially only the oral sex. If you have other flu-like symptoms, the first thing we should consider is an upper respiratory tract infection, and so I do not think there is nothing serious here to worry about.

Just get as much rest as possible, along with:

+Gargling of your mouth with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt
+Use a mouthwash like BETADINE
+Go on a liquid or semi-solid diet
+Use vitamin C supplements
+If the symptoms do not improve then you may require a physical evaluation by a doctor and the initiation of antibiotics

If there is anything else I can help you with, please do not hesitate to write to me sir. But for now, your symptoms are nothing to worry about.

Best wishes.
