My Mom had the same thing. It was a cyst. You need to go to the doctor or dentist. You probably only have a cyst, but you need to have it checked. It could be a tumor which would need to be removed(not trying to scare you, probably just a cyst.) Don't ignore it. It could cause more problems, like a massive infection. If it is a cyst it's pretty easy to get rid of.

Could be a swollen tonsil? An infected palate?
Check with your doc / dentist to find out if its infected, you may need to take antibiotics afterwards.
...Or it could just be a simple blister (does it sting when you swallow?) that goes away in 2-3 days (Remedy: gargle lukewarm salt-water morning and before going to bed).

It could just be sore if youve ate something hot or spicy. I would gargle with salt water and if its still there in a couple days go to a doctor.

By gargling your mouth with salt water,
the mouth ulcers will heal quickly.
