MD Hi,
You have not suffered any serious damage if you only took one mouthful. Therefore, I suggest you treat the symptoms. Take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain. Drink plenty of water and milk. You symptoms should improve over the next day.

i have a sore throat,there is swelling in the back of my mouth and it hurt to swallow.i had my tooth extracted a few days and have been on some medication including amoxil.shouldnt this have prevented this throat problem?
MD Most likely yes, but in your case I'll suggest Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. It's a bit more power than usual Amoxil.
