Leave it alone. The ulcer in the mouth will heal without any intervention on your part. It may cause you consternation when the "boil" ruptures, but swallowing the discharge will not do any harm. Wish you good health!

People do not get boils inside their mouth. There are literally hundreds of lesions that can appear in the mouth.You will have to be examined to determine the nature of your lesion. Please seee your Dentist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
