Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems that you have got chemical burns with the chemicals present in the mouth freshener and not infection..
The white appearance is due to injury to the mucosa.
Nothing to worry, you should gargle with a numbing solution containing Lignocaine for relief from burning and pain.
Gargle with warm saline water.
You can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.
Avoid spicy and hard foods.
It will start improving within a week but in case if the condition does not resolve consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
