Possible palate hickey?
Could it be an internal hickey? Or could it be from too much friction or pressure? What about strep throat? Any home remedies? It is from performing very hard oral on a male. Maybe it was too rough and abbrassive? It has not been 24 hours from it.

The oral sex was less than 24 hours ago, or you've had the irritation for less than 24 hours?
If the oral sex was less than 24 hours ago, I'd say it's irritation. That's too soon for any kind of infection to show symptoms. It could be an infection from something unrelated to the oral sex, though.
In any case, a hickey is the result of biting or sucking on skin and forming a bruise, so it's not that. If it lingers longer than a day or two, you should get it checked out. Be honest with your doctor that you performed oral on a man, with the timeline of events, so they can properly assess you.
In the meantime, try rinsing with warm water and salt, or try one of those sore throat sprays. I wouldn't try anything with an antibiotic in it, as that could mess up testing later.

I noticed it a few hours later but it must have happened in the moment because the head of his genital was red and irritated too. I have no pain and it feels just like a normal throat infection (which I am used to). We have done this before but nothing like this happened because it wasn’t as rough before. We are each other’s first and because it hasn’t happened before, I guess it’s not an STI. It seems to get slightly better every time I wake up. Thanks, I’ll just see for more progress. Definitely learned from this one.
If you think it's a throat infection, and it recurs, you should perhaps see an ear, nose and throat doctor.
If you are each other's first, and only, for everything including oral sex, then this can't be an STI.
Be gentle with yourself and each other. You can have "rough" sex, but pay attention when it's too much. I'm not implying your partner didn't, but a good partner will respect your limits.
Feel better soon!
