What Causes Swelling In The Upper Mouth With Severe Bleeding?

After eating a main course I felt the roof of my mouth swollen. I had not this obstruction before commencing the meal. My mouth then filled with blood and there was quite a lot before it cleared. Traces of blood remained for several days. An ulcer in this area required antibiotics to heal it. What would have been the cause of this loss of large amount of blood?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling in the palate or roof of the mouth could be because of the trauma caused by the food particles or it can be because of the burn caused by a hot food or drink. These two reasons might have resulted in the formation of ulcer. You can take topical anesthetic and analgesic like anabel gel.
The other possible cause of the swelling could be secondary to tooth or gum infection. Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. You can take a radiograph to rule out infection in the tooth. If there is infection in the tooth, Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
