What Causes Pain Around The Maxillary Molars On The Palatal Side?

3 days ago I started to feel pain around the gingival margins of my maxillary molars on the palatal side. The area appears erythematous. In addition, the area behind my right mandibular molar is also reythematous and swollen. Also painful. The interesting thing is that everything is one sided (right side.) Later on, my hard and soft palate on that side started to hurt, then moved down my throat, and now my lymph node is swollen and painful on that side. I also have geographic tongue with pain but only associated to the right side. Taste has changed. I feel pain when I move my mandible around the mandibular border. Since yesterday I ended up with a fever of 101 that kept on coming and going. chills were involved. Now today i woke up with a blister on the inside of my lip (on the right side.) I am currently placed on z-pack. What could I be dealing with?
