Oral Thrush or STD?

2 days ago i gave oral. No it was not protected, partner did not have any signs of redness/bumps or any of the sort. Yesterday I decided to check my throat it felt weird but no pain. There is a white patch on my left tonsil and white patches on my right tonsil. No pain when i swallow just somewhat discomfort, no pain while eating, no difficulty breathing, no fever, no red bumps, no blisters. Is it possible to have an STD within the mouth with these symptoms? If so, what kind? Im too scared to go to my doctor. I've just started using warm water and salt gargling it and green tea. It could be oral thrush? Is it less likely for an STD to form in the mouth according to my symptoms?

This is more likely strep throat than it is a std. Go and be seen and get a throat swab done. You have to wait a few more days before a std throat culture can be done but unless symptoms don't clear up within a week, I wouldn't even bother getting a std throat swab done.

a doctor said that STD is rare by giving oral except for herpes or hsv. But, i dont have blisters. So, do i still might have an STD?

There is some STD risk giving (also receiving) unprotected oral. I would go for an examination and STD test.
