The ulcer can be due to upper wisdom tooth impinging on the soft tissue, which will require a correction. Without the clinical picture and examination, I cannot arrive at a diagnosis. Please visit your dentist.

I think you should get a check up done. It might just be an ulcer so for that the ulcer healing gels can work but as you said it's in the third molar region.. it might be cheek bite or can be due to infection coz of the food getting lodged in that area..
Next Steps
a check up is required
Health Tips
don't chew from that side..
