What Causes Lump In Jaw With Pain And Fever?

Hello. I need help. I am a female, 17 years old. In the past few days I noticed that my upper gums are starting to swell and I developed some lumps on my hard palate. I ve been experiencing this for almost 5 days. I didn t eat anything that is new to me. I also have swollen tonsils and has difficulty in swallowing. I m having fever for almost 5 days too. I started to take antibacterial medicine yesterday. What might be the cause of this and what is this disease? I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!

Hi
Welcome to hcm
You are having throat infection that is called pharyngitis. Show it to ENT specialist for confirmation. Antibiotics and worm saline gargle will help improve it.
