Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
The symptoms you are experiencing is suggestive of herpes infection of the throat as a result of oral sex. ENT examination and measurement of blood antibody levels can confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed treatment with anti-viral like valacyclovir needs to be initiated.
Hope this answers your question
