Probably just time: It depends upon what it actually is. You can see a dentist right away or wait it out and see if it goes away. It's your call for now depending upon how much it hurts and how concerned you are. If it is not gone completely in 2 weeks, it should be looked at by your dentist, even if all discomfort is gone. Warm salt water rinses may make it feel better.
