A few days ago I woke up with a sore mouth. My gums are red, swollen with sores. Under my tounge my salava glands are swollen, look white and are very very sore.

I can't eat, it hurts all the time. I can't afford to go to a dentist or a doctor, but if I do it will  have to wait 2 more weeks. I thought of going to the ER or a walk-in in 2 weeks if I can make it. I don't know who I should see for this. (dr or dentist)

Has anyone had this and know what it might be and what I can to do to help fix this ? It's so incredibly painful.

Doctor or Dentist. Either one can treat this. and try swishing with 1  tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Swish 30 sec and spit. It'll hurt like a b$tch at first becuase of the irritation you have going on, but it will start to kill off the infection.

First, start by rinsing with salt water. It may help the swelling go down. (cold water, not warm) Salt water has an antibacterial property to it, and won't irritate as much as peroxide. Second, ask your doctor's office if they can bill you. I don't even want to speculate at what it could be.
