What Causes Canker Sore Between Upper And Lower Teeth With Fever?

I woke up with a fever yesterday and also felt a canker sore like feeling at the back of my jaw, between my upper and lower teeth. It's now gotten bigger, size of a big pea and it can move. Does not look like a canker sore, which I am prone too. Any ideas?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the ulcer could be a aphthous ulcer or herpetic ulcer (since you are giving history of fever) or traumatic ulcer. consult your oral physician to rule out these things and if i am your treating doctor i would have advised you to take topical anesthetic, analgesic and topical steroids (triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%). if the ulcer doesnt heal in two weeks then it can be biopsied. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
