Should I worry about pharyngeal (throat) gonorrhea?

About 45 days ago I performed oral on a another guy for less than 5 minutes.  He did not ejaculate on or in me at all.  He also performed oral on me.  About 20 days after the encounter, I thought I might have gotten an STD.  I went to the doctor and got tested for everything.  All the tests came back negative.  Around 44 days after the encounter, I developed a terrible sore throat and some drainage.  

When I got tested,  I only did urine and blood testing.  I did not have a throat swab.  To be more specific, I didn't even have any symptoms of an STD at all, but rather got tested just to make sure I was clean.  I haven't had any sex since that time.

If I had pharyngeal (throat) gonorrhea, would it have presented itself earlier than 45 days after my encounter?  Maybe I am just a little paranoid about a sore throat, but I just want to make sure I don't need to do more testing.  The doctor I saw didn't even suggest a throat swab.  Please help.
