Should I Be Worried About The Swollen Papillae After Oral Sex?

I've recently had oral sex and I'm female and it was on a male. At the back of my tongue I've got swollen papillaes and there slightly itchy. I've also got a cold. Is this just because the cold or should I be worried. We also had sex but my vagina is fine

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you had both oral sex and sexual Iintercourse with your partner, following which you developed the swollen and itchy papillae in the oral cavity.

The swollen and itchy papillae is may ne due to trauma caused during the sexual act and it may be due to the associated upper respiratory tract infection.

You requires physical examination to find out the actual cause for the symptoms and then adequate treatment can be given.

Thank you.
