You COULD have strep throat or an STD. There's no way of knowing without getting tested. Please see your physician immediately. If privacy is an issue for you, go to your local STD clinic or Planned Parenthood. Most of these clinics are either free or low-cost. Dr. J

If you deep throated him. It is likely that your throat muscles are sore.... I know mine did until I learned how to relax them at will.
