What Causes Fever, Sore Throat, Swollen And Painful Mouth?
Hi, I had fevers and a sore throat a week ago and now my mouth hurts. My left side of my mouth seems to be swollen from the ends of my mouth near my tonsils. I also noticed that I am producing a lot of saliva and that it hurts when I swallow. My tonsil also hurts.
