Do I have gonorrhea like symptons? Need advice

by valentinochanel, Oct 02, 2009 12:25AM

Tags: gonorrhea, STD, antibiotic, symptons, Swelling, sore throat

Every time I swallow if feels like I have a sore throat. When I look at the back of my tongue it has these red and wart like bumps and I notice my saliva has an odd odor to it. My tonsils seem enlarged but I can feel like there's a hair in the back of my throat. I do not have any discharge or feel any painful swelling of my testicles or penis. I had/performed oral/anal sex with 2 different people and am thinking I may have gonorrhea or some std? I have read it may also be coincidental but I will be scheduling an appointment with Planned Parenthood to get tested and will they supply the medicine to cure it? I have taken an antibiotic I had from a previous prescription left over and hope it may treat it?
Any advice will help, thank you

Does not sound like a STD, but if concerned get tested with a throat swab. Yes they should prescribe medication to cure a STD. Do not take left over medication that you had from somethign else.

Was the anal sex protected or unprotected?

Protected, and I am hoping to get tested soon. This morning I woke up and a patch of my foreskin appeared very dry and alittle itchy. It feels weird and does feel itchy. Any signs of anything?

No, if anal sex was protected then no real worries there.
