Hello, Your description suggests a Streptococcus or oral yeast infection. Antibiotics by prescription are needed to treat Strep and antifungal medication such as Nystatin to treat Thrush. Keep well hydrated. Anti-inflammatory medications such as Tylenol or Advil may offer relief. The antihistamine Benadryl is an alternative medication to reduce discomfort and swelling. Maintain proper nutrition, balanced vitamins, and good daily dental care. Rinse with warm salt water. Make sure you do not have any deficiencies, allergies or medication side effects such as a dry mouth that contribute to your current condition. Strep infections can be confirmed with a culture by your doctor. Fever any other respiratory symptoms may develop. Your dentist can evaluate your mouth for infections including fungal, bacterial and viral. A confirmed diagnosis wlill determine which medication is needed to treat any infections present. Rhank you for your inquiry. I hope my suggestions help you feel better soon.
