Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Well, you need to get checked by an Oral Physician and get evaluated.
A mouth swab culture, blood test should be done to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms as it does not look purely to be fungal infection.
So first investigations are a must and an Oral Surgeon is most appropriate to diagnose it
For now to manage pain you can apply Lidocaine gel over the painful areas and sores.
You can also gargle with specialised mouthwash like Magic Mouthwash.
Avoid hard, spicy and acidic foods.
Drink plenty of cool water and take bland foods.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
