Question
Well I had unprotected sex and about 3days later I started having brown discharge and my period should be coming soon, but I have strep throat really bad, so what could be the reason? I'm 5'2 and bout 110lbs
Answer
I would like you to go to a clinic or your regular doctor with these problems.
Whenever you have unprotected sex you run the risk of picking up an infection. One of the symptoms of an infection is a change in your vaginal discharge. A clinic needs to check you and treat you if you do have an infection.
The risk of NOT treating an infection can be something as serious as making it harder for you to get pregnant in the future.
