Hi...the ulcer is due to the irritation caused by the sharp cusp of the upper third molar and due to the insufficient space for the lower third molar tooth/wisdom tooth to erupt.The pain is more due to constant food accumulation and infection in the affected area.
Next Steps
Visit dentist immediately and get evaluated through radiographic investigations .
Health Tips
Add salt in luke warm water,gargle in the affected side 4 times a day to get temporary relief.
Advised to do regulardental check up and teeth cleaning every 6 months.

Hi
The symptoms are normal hence no need to panic
Just take some antibiotics and painkillers (to be prescribed after consultation only)
And apply ointment- dologel CT on the ulcers
And get the tooth extracted(extraction is to be decided after a x ray and check up only, extraction can be avoided if position of the wisdom tooth is normal) only after the swelling subsides
Next Steps
Consult a dentist and get a x ray done so that the treatment plan can be designed
Health Tips
Don’t apply hot water bottles or heat in any form for the swelling
