Hi.
Thanks for the query..
Well, the area you marked in the image looks like an inflamed area.
It can be due to tongue bite, any sharp cusps of tooth, any injury with sharp foods etc.
It does not look like anything serious and will heal gradually.
Continue doing warm saline rinses.
Avoid spicy, sharp and hard foods.
Suck ice pops
Hope this helps..
