Any Thoughts About Tender Bump Behind Molar On Gums?

I have a tender bump that just popped behind my molar on my gums. It's almost like I burned my gums with something hot and it formed a blister that popped except that it has been there for at least a week maybe 2. It seems to continued to fill with some liquid. Obviously I've read the Internet and this could be anything from an abscess tooth to oral cancer. Any thoughts about what it may be and who I need to speak to?
