What Causes Swelling On Gums With White Dots, Sore Throat And Fever?

Hello! I have a problem I ve never really seen before. Last Friday I developed a sore throat and within the next day, I had flu like symptoms, the shakes and a hot temperature. I thought it was just a common flu but now my gums have swollen, become incredibly sore and there seems to be random white dots on my gums, throat and the top of my tongue. I went to a doctor yesterday and he seemed a bit confused by the symptoms. Please reply as soon as possible. The pain in my throat and gums is harsh and also if I push on my glands they hurt. Thank you. Ben

Hi,
It seems that you might be having acute infection in your oral cavity and Gingivitis leading to fever, chills and enlarged lymph nodes of surrounding area.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin or Azithromicin for 3-5 days.
Keep oral hygiene clean with antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
