It doesn't matter: It doesn't matter if it can be. What is important is what's causing both symptoms? She should be seen by at least a dentist (and possibly a physician if the dentist thinks that appropriate). There is no way to observe, diagnose and guess as to what's actually going on. Sorry.

Usually Not: If there is fever, pain and drooling it sounds more like a primary infection of gingivostomatitis (also known as primary herpetic gingivostomatitis) .[1] herpetic gingivostomatitis is often the initial presentation during the first ("primary") herpes simplex infection and affects mainly children. Early symptoms, such as fever, anorexia, irritability, and headache, may occur in advance the outbreak.
