Symptom of Herpes?

This morning when I woke up, my right side of my throat was a little sore. Only when I moved my head all the way to the right was there a little tenderness underneath my jaw area. I wanted to know if this was a possible mild symptom of herpes (swollen lymph-nodes). To be honest, I was a little restless lastnight and I do sleep with 2-3 pillows with my head cocked up. I do live in a high pollen area and didn't know it if was some sort of allergie or a possible symptom.

I am 12 days post incident of having  unprotected oral sex from a  CSW. She had no visible signs or symptoms of any cuts, openings, or lesions on or around her mouth and I have had no signs or symptoms besides nervousness and anxiety (which i found most people have after a dumb encounter like I had). No rashes, itchiness, pain, discomfort, anything luckily. Just wanted to ask about this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, any issues and symptoms would be in your genital area not the oral area. Very low risk activity esp when no lip sores are visible at the time.
