Could Swollen Lymph Node And Sore Throat Be Symptoms Of Infection Inspite Of Having Oral Sex?

Hi. I gave oral sex and like 3 hours later my throat became sore, well my lypmh nodes swoll up. Now they are still swolllen 5 days later. And when i eat they get biggaer. They like shrink aswell as swell up more but thats obly when i eat. It hurts to touch . Im just wondering if this is an std or an infection i went to the doc and all they told me is that its not strep throat, no help at all.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of oral sex and sore throat after that. You may have simple sore throat due to upper respiratory tract infection or you may have gonococcal infection. You should take a course of antibiotics like cephalosporin or doxycyclin accordingly. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
