Gonorrhea can be transmitted through the oral cavity, but gonorrhea infection through the oral cavity is usually seen mostly in people who have oral sex and mainly manifests as acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis, and does not lead to acute urinary tract infections or anorectal infections, among other manifestations. Pharyngitis caused by gonorrhea will have a dry throat, sore throat, painful swallowing, and possibly purulent discharge, which can slowly resolve on its own after a week, and is simpler to treat than ordinary gonorrhea, urethritis, cervicitis, or proctitis. Generally, a single intramuscular injection of ceftriaxone is sufficient, but it must be judged as cured only when all the symptoms and signs disappear and the pathogens are tested negative.
