Worried
About two months ago I performed oral sex on a man. About 2 weeks later I had a sore throat with a headache and preasure on the side of my face. I went to urgen care and was told I had an ear infection. Was given antibiotics. About a month later I got another sore throat began to release yellow green mucus from nose and mouth went back to urgen care the doctor couldn't really tell me what was wrong liked at my ear and said it still looked cloudy. So she gave me 10 days of antibiotic. I finished them but now I have preasure on the right side if my face preasure in my ear and a tonsil that is bothersome. I don't have a fever. Could this be a cause of an std? Please help I'm scared.
Lymph nodes can get swollen in general when your body is fighting off an infection.
Again, I don't think this has anything to do with an STD, and you already did a STD panel test 6 weeks post exposure.
Try not to obsess about it.
Your lymph nodes are likely swollen due to another problem.

I have recently noticed that I swollen lymph nodes on the right side of my neck and my neck hurts. I have had a std panel done 6 weeks after exposure. And everything came back negative. But I'm scared that I might have contracted something including hiv. I'm terrified
I don't think Levaquin can be used to treat bacterial STD's (though I could be mistaken).
Doxycycline (100 mg 2x per day for 7 days) can be used to treat effectively all sexually transmitted bacterial infections (Syphilis as well, but it would require 2 weeks on that treatment).
But I don't think this is STD related.
This could easily be due to something else.
I had a similar problem which lasted several weeks while I was in London.
Turns out it was a sinus issue, but it was unlike any previous one I experienced.
I had pressure pain in the area between the left side of the nose and my left eye (where the nose connects with the forehead - or just beneath the eyebrow), and quite powerful headaches.
I didn't get any treatment, and I did eventually get better (after about 2 weeks in total).
The doctor who examined me did so very quickly... I mean, I told her I just wanted a quick checkup to find out what's the problem and she literally said it was a sinus issue.
Tell me something I don't know... I mean, I wanted to know what could cause this because nothing like that happened before, but alas, I got no answer.
Incidentally, I didn't have a problem with that kind of a sinus infection since then... and I just recently started taking numerous vitamins, so I doubt I will be susceptible to such problems ever again (not that I was particularly susceptible before).
