stds in throat??

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?

OH and if you think your bf has an std, you both need to be tested.

That's way too early for std symptoms to appear, and my guess is you have a cold or strep or something, and its time for you to see a doctor if its been 2 weeks.
