Hello, I ve discovered a lump in my hard palate about one week ago. It s maybe 5mm diameter, pretty central, and I think not discolored, though it s kind of hard to see in the mirror. I was thinking Torus Palatinus, but it is accompanied by pain when I try to swallow, coughing and a generally very sore throat. If nothing changes in the next days, I m gonna see a dentist though it s kind of complicated because I m staying abroad in the next months. I just wanted an estimate by a doctor if it might be palate cancer ( I m a 19 year old male, don t use tobacco, consume alcohol socially on weekends, but not excessively ). Thanks! Tim
