Q. Is it concerning to have difficulty swallowing and dryness in the throat after oral sex?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. There is nothing to worry too much about. This seems to be minor trauma to the throat following oral sex, which is quite common and should get back to normal in a few days. However, I hope that you are taking all due precautions to prevent any STD (sexually transmitted disease) and maintaining good and healthy sexual hygiene pre and post-intercourse. Be careful and understand your limitations when engaging in intercourse. If there are any persistent symptoms after a week we will need to do a more detailed evaluation.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
