Supportive care: You likely have a viral infection. Push fluids, take Ibuprofen for the pain (if it's safe for you to take), and monitor for worsening or fevers. You may also want to consider topical sprays like chloraseptic for the throat/blister pain. If your symptoms worsen, seek care.

See your dentist: Your description sounds like you have an acute abscess. You need to see your dentist as soon as possible for evaluation and determine what treatment is indicated before more serious problems occur.
