Burning in Throat after Rough Oral Sex
I had rough oral sex around 3 days ago, and my throat has been burning since around a couple hours after the act. This guy is a new partner, but I have had oral with him once before with no issues around 3 or 4 weeks prior to this time (not as rough though), and he ejaculated in my mouth both this time and the previous. This time was much rougher with a lot of gagging, and I vomited in my mouth a little at the end when he came. The burning is pretty painful and is causing issues with eating and talking, and I also have what looks like a blood blister or something in the back roof of my mouth (red, blood-like spots). I went to a doctor, and the doctor said I have a residual infection from the covid I had a couple weeks ago now. The thing is, I did not tell the doctor about the oral sex (my partner and I's relationship is secret). Therefore, I have my concerns about my diagnosis. I will add that I do have some symptoms that i do not believe line up with oral sex being the cause, such as fluid behind my ears and drainage. Plus, my covid symptoms got a lot better yet never fully went away. But, if the infection diagnosis is incorrect, is rough oral sex the cause? What should I do to treat it? And, how long will it take to heal? Please help!

Next time, tell the doctor what you are worried about, so you can be sure that what he or she diagnoses is based on complete information. Telling the doctor that you had oral sex is not going to reveal the fact that it's a secret relationship. Doctors don't gossip about people's personal relationships, they just want to do their job (diagnosis, prescription and monitoring results).
Anyway, if it looked like some kind of STD, if the doctor is any good, he or she should have thought about swabbing you for an STD. This suggests it doesn't look like the kind of issue one gets from sex.
That said, why let someone go at you in such a rough and uncomfortable way? I'd reconsider the kind of guy who would do that.

First things first, thank you for your response. I see what you are saying about doctors, but, unfortunately, it would reveal the relationship as I come from a conservative, controlling religious family where my mother goes to my appointments. Believe me, i wanted to inform the doctor, but my life is, uh, complicated.
Also, my partner did not force me into it or anything. He didn't even ask. I'm the inexperienced idiot who was horny, wanted to do it, and got carried away...
If it isn't an std, which, I must say isn't likely (I know my partner's sexual history), do you think it could just be bruising/soreness from the act?

It could be bruising and soreness from the act.
If you're in the U.S., your mom does not have the automatic right to be in the room when you have an appointment with a doctor. (I assume you are over 12 [the threshhold in some states for child privacy with doctors] or over 15 [the general threshhold].) You have legal rights to medical privacy. The doctor is not allowed, by law, to tell her what you say to him, either. Next time if you want to see a doc by yourself, say so to the nurse or the doctor, and your mom will be asked to leave the room so you can have privacy. I realize this might be easier said then done (particularly if you don't trust the doctor), but usually the doctor or nurse can make it look like a standard practice, if your mother is surprised.
Should your throat not calm down soon, see if you can book another appointment with the doctor, and go yourself. Since your mom knows you presumably have residual infection from Covid (as the doctor said), she might not be so interested in going along.
If you are having all your appointments with your mom there, this presumably means you aren't on any kind of birth control? Oh, dear. You can get yourself into a much bigger pickle, especially if sexual things happen on impulse. You won't appreciate me saying it, but if you are adult enough to be having sex, you're old enough to see the doctor by yourself, and to deal with what you are doing. You sure don't want a surprise baby.
Anyway, good luck with your throat, and good luck with working out your advocacy for yourself in all things medical.
