I gave my boyfriend oral sex one night and then the next morning my throat was horribly sore. It has been sore ever since, which has been about two weeks. I have been taking ibuprofen and it takes the pain away but then when I go to sleep the pain just comes back in the mornin. I have a lot of phlegm in my nose and aroud my throat. I have been taking mucinex also. Whenever I take either it takes the pain away and my throat feels normal. By te wy, when I say my throat hurts, it hurts to swallow. It feels almost like my throat is dry and scratchy. I saw that gonorrhea does go away by itself if it is in the throat but that was almost four years ago so is that still true today?
