You need to see your dentist. Even if you don't go for that reason. You could go to just get a basic exam.

Hmm, does it hurt? It can be a apthous ulcer which is a fancy term for canker sore..they're usually very painful esp. when you drink acidic beverages or scrap against it. Apthous ulcer usually goes away on its own. OTC cream/ointment might help to minimize discomfort.
Another possiblilty can be an infection of the tooth right above the area. If you press it sometimes pus may leak out. Sorry not trying to be disgusting.
You'll need antibiotics to get rid of the infection follow by a root canal to treat the tooth. In this case you have to visit a dentist.
