Herpes after cunnilingus?

One week ago I performed cunnilingus on a coworker who was visiting from out of town. About a year ago we had kissed and on this night we both got very drunk and kissed and I pleasured her for about 5-10 minutes.

The next night I noticed that my chin was very tight and sore (makes sense I suppose) and I had a very small cut on the inside of my upper lip. Over the next few days that cut disappeared but my upper lip still felt a bit painful and swollen in the middle where the veins are. Yesterday the middle of my upper lip swelled a bit but today it is back to normal.

This morning I awoke to find a "pimple" under my tongue on the right side of my saliva gland at the base of my tongue. It is on the bottom / side of my tongue not the bony part of my lower mouth. The area is red and swollen and more lightly colored in the middle. It just seems like a single eruption and not a cluster.

Since one or two days after our encounter I have had swollen lymph nodes in my neck, been feeling fatigued, a bit dizzy, had a sore throat, dry mouth and felt nauseous. It is mainly due to these symptoms and the emergence of the sore under my tongue that I am concerned. It all just seems very coincidental.

I have felt itching on my lips for a few days now but have not had any sores on the outside of my mouth. I think the itching might just be caused by my worrying mind :/

Is there any possibility that this may be herpes or another STD? If not is it possible I may have caught some other type of infection in my mouth / throat from cunnilingus?

I am going to see my doctor on Friday. Does this sound at all like it could be an STD?

It certainly doesn't sound like herpes here and the odds were negligible to begin with.

As for other STIs, again extremely unlikely with giving a female oral. A swab of a sore in your mouth and throat would be a sleep easy, not needed but would allay your concerns.
