What Causes Lumps Inside The Mouth?

Hi I have several small lumps on the inside of mouth (1 inside soft palate amd several at side of mouth near tonsils). Specialist for TMJ said it could be cysts and suggested I go to ENT clinic to have tonsils removed. Is this the only solution or could they actually be tonsil stones (which i have had previously). Thank you

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The lumps inside the mouth can be a mucocele or minor salivary gland tumors like adenomas. So consult an oral physician and get it evaluated rather than an ENT surgeon. If it is a mucocele or minor salivary gland tumor, you need to get it surgically removed.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
