Is Swollen Red Gums With Swollen, Painful Glands In Neck Could Possibly Be Due To Having Oral Sex?

I had oral sex with a girl four days ago. Two days after, I noticed my gums above my two front teeth were swollen. It is now a darker pink/light red and the swelling has spread behind my teeth. I also noticed a gland in my neck (left side, under the jaw) is swollen and painful to touch. Is this being caused by the oral sex and should I go see a doctor?

At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

this could be due to infection.
