Topical anesthetics: Other than just wait for it to heal, you can try a topical anesthetic like orajel to numb it up enough to eat. Sorry this has happened but in time it will heal.

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: A physician or Otolaryngologist would have to inspect this lesion in order to make a diagnosis or prescribe treatment. It could be a papilloma, canker sore, fungal infection,etc. Since you describe the lesion as excruciating, you should make an appointment to be checked. In the meantime try bathing the area with hydrogen peroxide or even maalox.
