Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The boil in the roof of the mouth could be because of the tooth infection like periapical abscess. or the boil can also occur secondary to the herpes virus infection.
If it is a periapical abscess then get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction.
Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
If it is a herpetic infection, you can take symptomatic treatment like topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
