Hello,
Possible causes like apthous ulcer must be ruled out. The negative pressure created by sucking air for a long time can also cause mucosal injury and these signs. It will be better if you attach a picture in the followup query.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
