Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I think you have severe viral infection that is causing ulceration and inflammation inside mouth.
As it is 4 days and the symptoms are still severe you should consult an Emergency room or a physician and get evaluated, they can advise you blood test and oral swab culture for confirmation..
For now take a combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen as it will reduce fever and also pains and inflammation.
Gargle with Magic mouthwash as it contains numbing, anti inflammatory as well as antibiotic agent as well as much more..
Take soft diet and avoid spicy, acidic and hot foods..
Take sufficient rest..
Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
