Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat with a blister in mouth post unprotected sex which is mainly due to upper respiratory tract infection as unprotected sex does not lead to that symptoms so early as it has long transmission period. Don't panic and stay in peace. I would suggest you to take anti-allergic medications along with antibiotics for 3-4 days. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Your symptoms will resolve. if your symptoms keeps on persisting visit oral pathologist once and get labs and blood tests done and start treatment accordingly. As you had unprotected sexual intercourse, then it is better to rule out HIV by taking a HIV combo test as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
