Welcome to the Forum. I'll be glad to comment. Most commercial sex workers do not have STIs and oral sex relatively leads to infection. When it does, the most common problems are either gonorrhea of non-gonococcal urethritis NGU) caused by mouth organisms introduced in to the urethra during sex. This sort of non-chlamydial NGU is not clearly and STI in the traditional sense, is not readily transmitted to sex partners like other STIs, and in not associated with complications. In the Unitized Kingdom, many specialists do not treat NGU associated with oral sex. When treated, oral sex-related NGU typically resolves quickly with standard antibiotics (azithromycin or doxycycline) of the sort you have been treated with..
The discomfort and sensitivity you describe is not suggestive of any STI. I suspect that following this exposure and your initial concerns and treatment that you have been inspecting yourself more closely than you had before the event. In this context you are likely to "detect" normal variation and be a bit more sensitive to exposures than usual.
My advice is to not worry further. I see no reason for testing of any sort and no reason for you to continue abstaining from sex with your wife.
I hope these comments are helpful to you. EWH
