So I had gave oral to a guy afterwards he told me he had bumps on his penis from childhood . That same day my throat felt weird but I took l lystine and went about my day . I have now experienced small bumps on my upper mouth , back of throat . 2 on my gum line . And a cluster of a sort under neath my tounge . I have been devastated . Who would I need to see ? And what can I take for this ? Thanks 

You ask about oral HSV (herpes) but then you put your question in the HPV (genital warts) category - which disease are you inquiring about?

A key bit of information is missing from your account:  How long ago did the oral sex exposure occur? And how long have you noticed the bumps in your mouth? HPV cannot cause warts or any other visible abnormality sooner than a few weeks after exposure -- maybe 6 weeks, and often not until 2 months or longer, sometimes a year or more. If you're talking about just a few day, HPV isn't a possible explanation. And there is no infection at all that can start to cause symptoms the same day:  whatever was the cause of your throat feeling "weird" was not an infection from performing oral sex. Also, whatever you have probably isn't related at all to the "bumps" your partner has had on his penis since childhood. In that case, they cannot be genital warts -- and maybe nothing abnormal at all.

In addition to the timing, please also provide more detail about the bumps themselves. Are they blister-like (i.e. seem to be filled with clear fluid)? Or like pimples, i.e. pus-filled? Do you have a sore throat?py

I'll be happy to respond further with this additional information; I look forward to hearing more.

That said, the timing of the bumps under your tongue (appearance about 3 months after your oral sex exposure in August) and their appearance in a "cluster" suggests that warts may be possible. However, warts are not filled with fluid, either clear or pus -- and that description could be herpes. There's just no way for me to know at this point, and in any case, we do not attempt to make a conclusive diagnosis in anyone. If it's herpes, the bumps will become open sores within a couple of days. You need to see a health care provider in person ASAP for professional evaluation, then return to the forum and let us know. Or let me know if they become ulcers (open sores). Good luck!

Threads normally are closed after this many follow-up exchanges, but I'll leave it open for another round, maybe two. Let me know when you've seen the ENT doc, or sooner if significant new information becomes available.
