Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pain on palate with a red spot does not seems to be due to yeast infection or thrush, rather it seems to be an ulcer or canker sore..
It can also be due to injury implicated to the roof of mouth caused by any hard food or anything else leading to tear in mucosa causing inflammation and ulceration that is causing pain..
I would suggest you to apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the spot to reduce pain..
You can also give him tylenol..
Do cool compresses or make him suck ice lollies..
Give him soft foods to prevent further irritation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
