So Ive had this bump on the roof of my mouth for 3 days now. The first day I woke up with it there and it was small. I didnt mess with it and that night it went down. The next day it was back again but still small. I decided to see if it would pop because it hurts to eat and swallow. It didnt pop nothing came out. Now I woke up today and its big and looks kind of yellow now instead of just flesh colored. What could it be? I will go to the dentist but I work all week so I need to see if you know how to ease the pain in the mean time. Ive taken ibuprofen and it works but I dont want to keep taking them.
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have small swelling on roof of the mouth don't be worried so much this could be due to infection in tooth or in gums. I will suggest you to consult dentist for oral examination and investigations Iowa X-ray to rule out the cause of infection. In meantime do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day, and you can take medicine like Amoxicillin and petrol DT by consulting with your local doctor. Hope this will help you.
