Brief Answer:
please provide a few more details

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The information you've provided is not sufficient. Please answer the following questions so that I can assist you further:

- When did you have sex?
- When did you start having symptoms?
- Did you have any other symptoms besides the ones you've mentioned? For example diarrhea, runny/stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, etc
- Any fever?
- Anything else?

If you're worried about pregnancy then be reassured that having protected sex (with an intact condom) is a 100% safe way to prevent pregnancy. If the symptoms had started right after having sex then they're probably not related to it.

I'll be waiting for your input...

Regards

Brief Answer:
sounds like a viral infection

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

2 days after sex not enough time for a sexually transmitted disease to occur and pregnancy signs cannot appear so early. So I can't find any connection with the intercourse.

Having both gastrointestinal and respiratory tract symptoms with fever is usually caused by viral infections (vomiting, diarrhea but also cough and/or runny nose and fever). If this is a viral infection indeed (you should check with your primary care physician) then expect a course of 3-7 days. Metoclopramide usually helps with vomiting but it is not indicated unless a doctor has taken a close look at your problem in person (because there are potential side effects).

You can use paracetamol for the fever which may help to make you feel better, although it is not given with curative intent - it just reduces the fever and body aches that come with the fever. Keep in mind that no diagnosis can be made from afar. Examining a patient is very important particularly when gastrointestinal symptoms predominate.

I hope you find my comments helpful! I'll be glad to answer any more question you may have.

Kind regards!
