swollen tonsil

I've had a swollen tonsil for about a week- it is slowly getting better but I'm still concerned.  My tonsils began to swell the day after I gave unprotected oral sex.  I never had a fever or any pain (or any white spots), and my left tonsil was always more swollen.  I went to a doctor last week, and he prescribed an antibiotic mouthwash and then penicillin, neither of which worked.  I'm now waiting for blood work results.  Could this be anything serious?

Let me reword that...it is not likely to get symptoms of any std the very next day after exposure.
