Answer 1

It's not a cavity, a cavity is when you have hole in your tooth it's most likely red and tender because you burned it using the mouthwash. You may want to use a mouthwash that has no alcohol in it like crest for now on to avoid burns.

Answer 2

Maybe it is a Canker Sore. I get them all the time.

Answer 3

you might be sensitive to mouthwash, try a different less invasive kind next time.
