Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The fever, ulcers, bad breath can be a herpetic virus infection resulting in herpetic gingivostomatitis. Nothing to be panic, its a self limiting condition. You can take symptomatic treatment like paracetamol for fever, topical anesthetic like lignocaine and topical analgesic like choline salicylate for ulcers. Do saline gargling. If the lesions does not heal in a week, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
