Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Age, gender, any underlying disease or drug intake not mentioned.
Sorry to know that you were not able to eat or drink for the past 3 days or so.

Apparently you are suffering from the painful ulcers in the oral cavity referred to as Aphthous stomatitis (inflammation of the oral cavity).

Take NSAID pain killer like Ibuprofen which help in reducing the pain and the swelling.
Metronidazole tablet three times, Sporolac powder, Multivitamins and a frequent antiseptic mouth wash will shorten the course of your problem.

Hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
