What Causes Large Swelling On Soft Palate?
Hi, my husband was eating a slice of pizza about 30 minutes ago and suddenly felt like there was food trapped in his sinus. He started trying to clear his throat and blowing his nose with no relief. Now he has noticed a large swelling on his soft palate that looks like a blood-filled sac. He was at the dentist this am so I don t believe it was there or the dentist would have seen it. It is not painful but he feels the swelling in his mouth and in his sinus.

Does it occur everytime he used to have pizza ? or just once ? As it might be allergy of some food. He might have tried some different type of pizza. one of culprit is mushrooms. Or it can be any other food also. just check it out. This condition can be severe in form angioneurotic edema. avoid that food in future
