Can STDs cause throat itching, congestion, and ear itching, after oral sex?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have had throat itching, throat congestion, and ear itching for two months. It started immediately the next day after I had oral sex. Can it be due to STD?

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the entire prescription (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It has mentioned congested nasal mucosa, posterior pharyngeal wall congestion, and one side TM (tympanic membrane) retraction. All are features of allergic rhinitis. There is no apparent feature of STD (sexually transmitted disease), please do not worry. I advise you to take, 1. Tablet Allegra (Montelukast) 120 mg one in the night after food for 15 days and make it 1/2 in the night for the next 15 days. 2. Momeflo nasal spray (Mometasone) two puffs in the morning and night in each nostril for 15 days, then one puff for the next 15 days. 3. Tablet Adrenocort (Glucocorticoids) 30 mg once daily after food for three days, then 1/2 tablet for another two days and stop.

No, you need not get tested for any STD. It is allergic rhinitis. Please take the same treatment I prescribed.

I still believe it is not an STD. To make sure could you please send me a picture of your throat with your tongue out? It is better you start with my treatment.

Hi,

I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect the parinet's identity). I still believe it looks like allergic pharyngitis. Please take the medicines which I had prescribed. Do an ENT examination and take prescribed Clarinova (Clarithromycin).
