HI,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM.1-I have studied your query in depth.2-IN my opinion,this lump on the back of your mouth-floor which has become painful recently was present for a month,with swallowing hurt from the lump, is cause to worry, though the only pacifying fact is that its painful or this may be a danger signal of invading lump in to nerve fibers around.3-With a pack of cigarettes a day, this could be a -painful lump on the mouth floor with ulceration not noted by you, or it could be a lump with invasion in surrounding tissue.3-a-I would advise you to show your doctor -surgeon, as it hurts you and the lump was there for a month-or could be for more time.5-Dear , I would advise you to URGENTLY-consult a ER Surgeon-doctor, who would rule out the medical causes, and would excise the tumour if the FNAC indicates that its cancerous.6-Hope this would solve yoru query to your satisfaction.7-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
