Hi sir,
First of all, you don’t have to panic. It’s a traumatic ulcer. As you mentioned. It’s because of tooth brush injury. You can apply this ointment which is for mouth ulcer-Dentogel.you can apply this three to five times a day, half an hour before or after food. If salivation is more, you can swallow or spit as per your convenience. Avoid spicy and hot foodstuffs until the ulcer heals.
Next Steps
If it doesn’t heal after three days, Kindly visit a nearby dentist.
Health Tips
Avoid Spicy and hot foodstuffs.Be gentle when you brush and don’t hurt that ulcer area.

Looks like traumatic ulcer.
Apply mouth ulcer gels 15-20 minutes before meal(if not allergic).
Avoid too hot or spicy food items.
Visit a local dentist for physical evaluation and treatment (as/if required).
