Hello and welcome to health care magic,

Since there was a gap of two weeks between your unprotected sex and your symptoms it does not seem to be the cause. However anything is possible
In any case start a course of antibiotic like amox-clav and antihistamine like levocetrizine in consultation with your doctor and see if this helps
Take only warm fluids, do steam inhalation and salt water gargle

If you do not get better in a week or so and if your symptoms worsen then you must consult an ENT and physician at the earliest so that a proper investigation and treatment work up can be done
get well soon and of course avoid unprotected sex
regards
