See a physician: Unfortunately,  we can't make an accurate diagnosis over the internet.  There are too many possibilities even to list on this type of forum.  Please see you own physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment if warranted.

Question 2

can i get mouth herpes if someone gave me a blowjob? i have a canker sore on the roof of my mouth and am concerned.

Accepted Answer

Canker sore: selve diagnosis is at best risky. If the "canker sore" is still present 14 days after onset, make an immediate appointment to see your Dentist or an Oral Surgeon. Once you have contracted the herpes virus it is always present in your system. Avoid intimacy until you are totally symptom free.

Give it some time.: Mouth sores are often related to recent injury such as post dental injury or sharp foods.  Could be viral.  Apply Oragel OTC and avoid hot and scratchy foods for a few days.

Question 6

Sore palate: There are many reasons the palate could be sore such getting burned by hot food,  trauma from hard food like torilla chips, dry mouth, electrolyte imbalance etc.  See: https://www.healthline.com/health/roof-of-mouth-swollen#your-doctor

Question 7

i don't know if it's a sore throats but the roof of my mouth is yellow, palate is red and veiny  and my throats is sore and nose runny. limited space.

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat lozenges and Tylenol or Motrin may help decrease symptoms.

Question 8

what looks like a canker sore on soft palate. red spots in back of throat/roof of mouth. mouth is also yellow in color instead of pink. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Canker sore: Supportive measures should allow that to heal. If pain worsens, or if sores spread your doctor could consider prescription medicines.

Question 9

red spots on the roof of my mouth (hard palate) and tender to touch. it feels smooth and swollen where the spots are.

Accepted Answer

Usually viral: While a number of things can cause such symptoms, the most likely cause would be a viral infection.  Strep might be a consideration, as well.  Check in with your doctor to be sure.

Question 10

swelling on the roof/palate of my mouth and migraine i ran/walked a 10k 3/17/12 after i finished i got an apple and a water as i took a bite of the apple i noticed the roof of my mouth was very tender, today 3/19/12 the roof/palate is still swollen in two

Accepted Answer

I : I do not think the swelling is related to your run, but more so to irritation or an abcess, the cause of which cannot be determined over the internet.

Why don't you go see a dentist who can physically see you. Determine what your problem is, and advise you of the proper course of treatment?

Hope this info helps.
