Ulcer In Gum, Swelling, Painful, Had Wisdom Tooth Extracted. Had Ibuprofen. What Is Wrong?

I have a ,what appears to be ulcer, on my back gum behind molar, its very swollen to the point were i cant close my mouth and my gum is like over my tooth because of swelling, also very painful when i do try to close my mouth,i can barley chew food, it was throbbing earlier but it went away after ibuprofen, i get ulcers frequently but never one there, just want to make sure nothing serious that i need to go to dentist right away I noticed it for the 1st time sunday night,so almost 5ish days and also had wisdom teeth out two years ago so i don't think its related to that

It could be persistent apthous ulcer, try using multivitamin tablet, use of local anaesthesia like benzocaine will be helpful. If the ulcer persists for more than 2weeks Consult a dentist.

Take care
