How long have you had the sore spot? From what I can tell about 4-5 days. If it doesn't get better within the next week I would do as Pete says and go to an ENT. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I had a sore spot that I ignored for a year. Then I finally went to my dentist. I was stupid.

Good luck to you,
Suzanne
