Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soft tissue growth can be because of the gum or tooth infection or it can be a normal fibrous tissue at the junction of the palate. Or the other possible cause can be a pyogenic granuloma or a periodontal abscess (Since you are telling some yellow discharge).
Consult a dentist and get it ruled out. If it is a tooth infection get the tooth treted along with a course of antibiotics. It is very difficult to come to a diagnosis without clinical examination, if you can send the images we can give a exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
