i have a painful lump on the roof of my mouth for about 3 days now. it is kind of squishy but everytime time i press on it it hurts the whole roof of my mouth. it is pretty smooth and about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in size. i need to know how to get it to go away
HI. The first thing to do is stop touching or fiddling it. As such a large lump can take a long time to heal if it is on the hard palate (bony part). This can be an abscess or infected minor salivary gland tumor and needs a special attention of an oral surgeon or ENT surgeon. Till you get an appointment- take very soft diet, painkillers if you have.
