Answers:
Sounds like an infection for sure--could be strep especially if you are running a fever.
An anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen--400mg--would be good. Also, chloraseptic spray is good for pain relief.
No chloraseptic, make some salt water rinse--just dissolve salt in water and swirl it about like you said--gargle. Don't use mouthwash, the alcohol will make things worse.
Watch it closely, you'll probably need antibiotics right away. Watch that temperature.
In between times, try some ice chips--should give some relief and will keep you hydrated.
Sorry you are doing poorly.
