Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like infection of the Palatoglossal area and the small ulcer can either be an abscess caused due to Infection.

Soy suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
Do warm saline gargles, antiseptic mouthwash gargles and such Cepacol lozenges to reduce pain..

Avoid spicy and irritant foods and take soft meals..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
