Hard Palate Swollen And Painful. Swollen Gum. Is It Intraoral Herpes?
hello i am a 28 yr. old female yesterday morning i woke up with the right side of my hard palate swollen and painful later during the day the inner gum line along the same side was a little swollen as well, today is seems to be ulcerating a little. I can t tell if this from intraoral herpes or from possibly burning my mouth on some hot stew the night before

hi madam..have you checked for decay of teeth nearby the swelling?usually hard palate gets swollen due to accumulation of pus in that region.usually it occurs due to dental caries,periodontitis etc.this will result in absess formation.visit your dentist and get check-up done.depending on the condition,we can decide the treatment like absess drainge/curettage etc..take care..
