Mouthwash and gently brush with HYDROGEN PEROXIDE several times a day. It will soak or absorb into the gums and the cheek tissue to heal a multitude of oral problems.
It is very healing and should make a big difference. I have used it for 40 years for healthy gums. Prescribed by my Doctor.

We're not talking about gum disease here - a peritonsilar abcess (also known as Quincy sore throat) is MORE likely the cause. By the way, George Washington died of this condition. Frankly, you should be contacting a physician...not asking for quick-fix answers from potentially poorly qualified people.

go to a doctor and get some antibiotics as soon as possible! these infections can become very serious (e.g. osteomyelitis of the jaw bone) if left untreated as well as being very painful.
