Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are going through.
From what you are saying, it seems to be a mouth ulcer possibly due to virus as you got feverish.
Can you please send a photo of the mouth ulcer to me?
Oral gel containing lidocaine can help ease the pain. It will get well soon in a few days. Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the pain.
