Hi, thanks for the query.
Start antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , Paracetemol + Ibuprofen combination , Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast , Antibiotic azithromycin , Vit C for 5 days.
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
