Severe throat infection after oral on a girl with genital herpes

Hi all thanks for helping me figure this since I'm in panic mode. I'm very healthy and rarely sick. The occasional minor cold symptoms.

Saturday night this girl I have been seeing for a week tells me she has genital herpes (for a decade) and takes her meds and rarely has outbreaks. Well seeing she was responsible telling me I chose to go ahead and we finally had sex (protected) and I gave her oral (unprotected). Not to get granular but her vagina did not taste normal. Next day at the gym I started feeling an itch on my right side of the throat. Usually I take that as a cold symptom which I usually eliminate with extra vitamins and lots of salt water gargle. By Tuesday morning my throat was still OK but I started to get feverish. By that evening I had 103 F fever and my doc gave me anthromyzine (common to kill bacterial infection). But my Wednesday morning my throat was so much it hurt like tell to swallow anything (worst I have experienced ever). The doc added Ciprofloxacin (more powerful) to my regime (diagnosed me tonsillopharyngitis) but after a day now my throat is still terribly bad (very painful when swallowing) but my fever has dropped to 100. Also today I did wake up with swollen gums (I have good hygiene I floss etc).

Appreciate if anyone has a clue what is happening to me? I find it a strange coincidence my worst throat infection happens a few days after giving oral to this girl. I am praying the new meds take affect before I go insane.

Thanks for your insight. Regards.

Thanks I went to the ER and they believe it's a bad case of tonsillitis. They gave me a stronger antibiotic for a few days. Fingers crossed!

Follow up with your Dr, unlikely to be a STD.
