Hello,
The reason behind your mouth ulcer must be cheek bite due to your wisdom tooth. Also there might be chance of infection in wisdom tooth region.
1) Keep that place very very clean.
2) start using Chlorhexidine Mouthwash twice in day.
(Mix it with water 1:1 ratio before use) for 1 week.
3) Painkiller if needed - Tab. Keterol- DT
4) In case of swelling use ICE pack over that side extra orally.
5) If you don’t have ice pack you can simply put few ice cubes inside handkerchief and use it as ice pack.

Hi
Warm saline rinse helps.
It appears like you have a wisdom tooth infection which is causing the pain.
Bad breath could be due to the gum infection.
Get a cleaning done , it will help.
Also an x ray will help with the diagnosis

As there is ulceration the tooth should be disimpacted immediately.
But due to lock down it is not possible.
So I recommend to use dologel-CT
Apply twice daily & keep it for 10-15 min .
Hydroxyl mouthwash 1:3 in which 1 part of mouthwash & 3 parts of water - rinsing twice daily
If pain persists antibiotic course is recommended
