 Help!!! Mouth Rot problem

I’ve rescued a ball python, he is around 12" long. After shedding him in a warm bath, I felt a very hard lump in his lower abdomen..I believe it may be a calcium stone, and I took a look at his mouth, because the person I got him from said he would not eat. I think he is in the early stages of mouth rot. I need to know what I can do for him, before I take him to the vet. I’ve heard all sorts of quick fixes like diluted peroxide, betadine & iodine solutions, listerine diluted with water, etc..... I want to make sure NOT to do more harm to him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
