What Does Bump On Back Of Mouth With Discolored Roof Of Mouth Suggest?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bump on the back of your mouth with a purplish hue can be a periodontal or periapical abscess that is collection of the pus secondary to gum or tooth infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and take a radiograph and confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metrnidazole. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
