I've noticed these little holes inside my cheeks on both sides. There's no pain or bleeding, but when I touch them with my tongue, they feel like they're injured.

I've been dealing with really bad tooth pain for the past two days. I've already tried the painkillers, ketorol dt, but it still hurts a lot. What else can I do for relief? Is there something else you would recommend? This pain is really getting to me.
