Strep or mono

Hello, years ago i was diagnosed with strep after a sexual encounter with a female. Kissing and oral performed on her. Days later my throat started to feel funny. First started off with tonsils feeling swollen when i swallowed and really paid no mind to it as there was no pain or flu/cold like symptoms. So about 2 days go by and i noticed white spots on tonsils and a little bit of pain when i swallowed. Ignored it again until the next morning about 4 am i woke up and my throat was extremely sore. I went to the ER the dr. Came in looked at my tonsils amd said it was strep no swab or bloodwork done. So I was given amoxicillin and 800 Ibuprofen. But towards the end of my presrciption i started getting a itchy rash on my arms and hands. It was red all over my hands with tiny bumps. Any answers are appreciated.

Also i never developed the flu or cold symptoms and never felt drained or fatigued as at the time i had a very physical job and was still able to peform. Just the throat issues. To this day my tonsils are still huge and i get tonsil stones now
