Suggest Treatment For Swollen Gums And Lymph Nodes

I had swollen gums last week. Now I have a swollen lymph node on the right side, I have swollen salivary glands on the right side, and cold sores on the back of my tongue and roof of my mouth on the right side.. Now it feels like my right eye is getting goopy. I have gotten cold sores on my lip before, but this is ridiculous. Is it just the herpes virus (cold sores) that is causing all of this? Or is there another problem?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness over the gums, eyes, and salivary glands and lymphnodes can be because of the herpetic virus infection. The other possible cause can be two separate entities with a bacterial parotitis involving salivary gland and herpetic gingivostomatitis with conjuctivitis. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you start with a antiviral drugs like acyclovir. Topical anesthetics like lignocaine and topical analgesics like choline salicylate can be used for the ulcers over the tongue. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
