Could Swelling On Hard Palate Be Caused Due To Toothache?

I have had a severe toothache in my upper right side tooth for seven days now . I just also noticed a swelling which is bulgy and a little hard at the middle of my hard palate. it hurts when I eat something hurt or cold. when pressed, it does not really hurt. the pain from my tooth is felt in my ears, eyes and mouth. what can that swelling be? Do u think it can be caused by the toothache

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your question the swelling in the palate could be because of a tooth infection like periapical abscess or cyst or it can be because of any salivary gland tumor also...consult a oral physician and get radioraphs like IOPAR, and OPG..later we can treat the condition...you might have to take a course of antibiotic if there is infection... i hope my answer will help you..
take care..
