Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Well, the symptoms that you are explaining can be due to Viral Infection and not necessarily due to any sexually transmitted infections..
Sore throat, body pain and other symptoms can be probably related to viral infection..
So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated.. A throat swab culture and blood test can be done to confirm the diagnosis..
In case if it is viral infection then a combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen can help in reducing pain and inflammation.. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.. Suck throat lozenges and chew a Vitamin C pellet daily to improve immunity.. Take cough suppressant syrup to reduce cough..
If there is secondary bacterial infection then antibiotics can be advised..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
