What Causes Dry Mouth And Pain In Throat After Kissing Girl With TS?
I was making out with a girl and then found out she was a TS. I didn t use my tongue, it never entered her mouth. I got really freaked out after finding out that she is actively with men and doesn t use protection for oral. I drank a lot of whiskey after finding that out (and parting company). Today my right lymph node in neck is swollen, lot of mucous in the morning and sinuses really stuffed. I drank lots of water but my throat kinda felt funny. Later in the day my mouth began to get dry and my throat started hurting. Could this be from drinking whiskey straight or think I ve got something growing back there?
Hi. It sounds like you've picked an infection more so due to your excessive drinking of alcohol. The kissing may have precipitated this. Enlarged neck nodes and dry/painful throat and lot of mucous from stuffed sinuses is very suggestive of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
Excessive alcohol consumption leads to excessive mucous production within the sinuses (precipitating sinusitis) and also wipes out the protective germs in the throat leading to an infection in the throat presumably viral. The ice used in alcoholic beverages such as when drinking whiskey harbours a lot of viruses and could have also been the source of infection.
In my opinion you must consult your physician or ENT specialist to evaluate you for sinusitis and acute pharyngitis. If I were your treating physician, I would advise a short course of oral antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, saline nasal spray and oral antiseptic gargles/rinses for about 5 days.
Such infections are easily treatable and you should be fine within a week. In the mean time keep yourself hydrated and avoid further alcohol consumption until complete recovery. Do let me know if you have any other questions.

A strep test and a monospot test is also indicated to rule out a streptococcal infection or infectious mononucleosis from the kissing. Such infections are easily treatable and you should be fine within a week. In the mean time keep yourself hydrated and avoid further alcohol consumption until complete recovery.
