ENT or primary care: Sounds like you need to see someone today of it is that severe. Make sure to stay hydrated. Ok to start with your primary care, or if you have the ability, straight to an ENT specialist. Hope this helps!

Burning mouth?: Hard to know without examining you and learning more. There is a condition known as burning mouth syndrome. Irritants such as certain (especially spicy) foods, hygiene product (mouthwash?0 or dental implants can exacerbate. Infection (yeast for example), autoimmune disorders, vitamin deficiency, hormone changes (greater incidence with menopause) and medication side effects are also suspects.
