What Causes Sore Lumps On The Roof Of Mouth?

I have two small and sore bumps on the roof of my mouth near the back that have arisen in just the last few days. They feel like little pustules or abscesses, but there is no obvious open sore. They are so far back that I can't see them with a flashlight. Is this a problem for a dentist or for an ENT doc?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sore bumps over roof of mouth can be pyogenic granuloma or can be pus filled abscess secondary to throat infection..

It is a case to be evaluated by an ENT or an Otolaryngologist and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..

The physician can advise you a course of antibiotics along with other remedies..
You should also avoid spicy foods..

Hope this information helps..

Regards.
