Pleaase Help!!

I had a very brief french kiss with a girl at a night club.. since then, I have been having a very dry tongue, not dry as in no saliva but dry as in the tongue itself feels rough (I can't describe it very well).. First, I thought it was oral thrush so I tried gargling salt water, mouth wash and I've been using Daktarin anti-fungal cream for 2 or 3 weeks now but to no use. Since two weeks ago, I started to notice the sides of my mouth roof getting drier too and changing texture. Did I get an oral std or is it just some bacterial infection or yeast or whatever?? It seems that the situation gets worse day by day..

I know that my chance for an std from french kissing is very low but I am 100% sure I got something because my tongue has never felt like that before the kiss.. Its been a whole month now and I still don't know what I have.

Pretty sure it isn't anxiety as the dry feeling is too strong for me to be imagining it. If I should see a doctor, would a dentist suffice?? or do I have to see a nose ear throat doctor???

I'm from Egypt and in Cairo we don't have many std testing clinics, even if there is it would probably be too far from where I live, so I was wondering, do dentists or nose ear throat doctors do oral swab tests in their own clinics??

It seems like anxiety to me.. But if you feel its something else then you should consult a doctor.
