Is my mouth pain from fillings or something else?

I had 4 cavity fillings done 5 days ago.. My mouth is in excruciating pain, im losing sleep over the pain. Its coming mostly from my pallet but the pain randomly spreads to my throat or sides of my mouth. I went to the doctors and its not strep and all they could tell me is that its viral.. I am a diabetic if that gives a hint to what this could be.. any suggestions to rid this pain or " virus " would be great..

If I were you, I would contact your dentist.
Sometimes one tooth can cause pain all around.
Perhaps one of the 4 teeth with the cavity was fairly deep near the nerve and as he was putting the filling in it was probably touching the nerve. So I would go to your dentist and maybe they could take an x-ray and if that is the problem, then they will probably do a root canal.
