STD Symptoms?

[kcin76]

Hello, I'm a 20 year old male and about 2 weeks ago I had unprotected sex with a female. About a week ago I developed a sore throat and then got cold-like symptoms (a stuffy nose and a slight "itchy" cough). The problem is I still have a sore throat, it becomes much more prevalent towards the evening/night, and is the worst when I wake up. It currently is centralized on the left side of my throat for some reason. I also seemed to have a white coating on the roof of my mouth upon waking up this past morning.

I would like to also bring up that a very small, shiny red bump (it was rather flat) appeared on the top of my joint on my thumb shortly after having the unprotected sex. I ended up scratching off the top layer which revealed a sort of red indent (no bleeding). It has since scabbed over but has still not healed completely (this was two weeks ago).

Should I be concerned about this ongoing sore throat, and the random mark on my thumb? Or am I just overanalyzing and freaking myself out?

I will note that I have had no other symptoms that are STD related. I have had no fever, or any rashes or anything like that.

Thanks in advance for any input or help!

No.  Genital is genital and does not migrate to oral symptoms.

Thank you for your input. I did not have oral sex, I am just concerned that it's an early symptom of a genital STD.

I truly feel you are over analyzing and freaking yourself out.  If you didn't have unprotected oral sex, then no chance of std in your throat.  Remember it is still flu/strep/ and now coming up, allergy season.  You have better chances of getting those than an std in your throat.
