Can't swallow: Go see a doctor now if you cannot swallow. If you have significant swelling in your throat, it could block your windpipe. Also, if you can't swallow, you will soon get dehydrated and you may need IV fluids until you can swallow water.

Chemical burns: You may have chemically burned the soft tissues Please seesee your physician for your throat and your dentist for that tooth. Orajel is for teething babies.. It will not solve your problem.

MD and DDS: The sooner you see a dentist for your dental problems and a physician for your throat or any other medical issues, the sooner you'll feel better. Going forward, and hopefully you've learned your lesson, don't try to treat yourself. See the appropriate professional. When was your last dental check-up?
