Curious if my symptoms are an oral STD or more likely to be unrelated?
I had protected vaginal sex, but unprotected oral (both gave and received). Roughly 3 days later I developed a sore throat and a few days after that yellow puss formed on my tonsils. The only description I can use is that my tonsils looked "marbled" via the pus vs full coverage. I also had mild flu like symptoms, cough, lethargic, muscle ache, but no fever. After about 4 days the yellow puss disappeared, but the tonsils/throat still appear red. Just curious if these symptoms appear to be related to an oral STD like Gonorrhea or an unrelated viral/bacterial infection? I plan to get tested after a full 3 weeks for all STDs via a urine and blood test, but if this is likely to be an STD than i'll have to request a throat swab for confirmation and I'm not sure where to go for that. Also, but would an oral STD like Gonorrhea completely disappear on its own and therefore make me "uninfected", or would I need treatment for it to go away completely?
If it is gonorreha the sore throat would not go away until it is treated. I took my throat swab for gono at pp

Hi to get and std like gono from giving a female oral the back of your throat would need to make rubbing contact with the inside of her vagina which is impossible.
