Hello. I need help. I am a female, 17 years old. In the past few days I noticed that my upper gums are starting to swell and I developed some lumps on my hard palate. I ve been experiencing this for almost 5 days. I didn t eat anything that is new to me. I also have swollen tonsils and has difficulty in swallowing. I m having fever for almost 5 days too. I started to take antibacterial medicine yesterday. What might be the cause of this and what is this disease? I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!
