May need more meds: It's possible it was a coincidence, esp. since symptoms occurred just a couple days later,but I'm concerned you may have gonorrhea.The antibiotics for strep sometimes takes care of this but you may need more or different ones, esp. if you didn't finish the first prescription. Please see a Dr. again and tell about the oral sex part. See https://www.medicinenet.com/oral_gonorrhea_symptoms/views.htm
