If the sores in your mouth are there for 2 weeks or longer then its time to go see a professional. I would suggest seeking out an ENT who specializes in oral cancer. A biopsy will tell what is going on and if its cancerous or not.
If I were you I would start with the family doctor as it sounds like you have alot going on right now. The fever should be addressed.
Good luck!!!
Best wishes!
