hello thanks for consulting at hcm..it could be traumatic ulcer if you have bitten in that region, and if your cusp tips are sharp?? blow your cheek out with mouth closed so that the cusp tips are not in contact with the mucosa,,also get a trimming of the cusp tips if sharp,,, right now you could take topical anesthetic like anabel gel, do salt water gargle,,or it could also be recurrent apthous ulcers,, or it could also be draining sinus from an abscess due to tooth or periodontal etiology like calculus, plz consult a oral medicine for a thorough check up and treatment,,hope it helps,,take care,,,
