Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain in retromolar trigone area can be due to a number of causes like infection in the gum in that area, due to wisdom tooth or can be due to trauma with any hard food..

These are common causes..

For a better understanding you should consult a Dentist and get evaluated and a proper treatment can be done..
For now he can take pain relievers and along with it apply numbing gel containing Lidocaine over it..
Do warm saline gargles and take soft meals..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
