Question 3

my left soft palate is really sore and swollen. it only hurts on my left side of mouth and has been like this for 3 days. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Probably a cold sore: You may have a canker sore caused by the herpes virus.  These are especially painful little lesions that may occur in the mouth.  They may be so painful as to cause it to be difficult to swallow! you could try some Valtrex (valacyclovir) from you fp to decrease the pain intensity and duration. For the most part, this is a viral infection that may just take some time to heal. Continue with supportive measures.

Question 4

i am suffering from swelling and sore of upper palate in mouth area nausea and lil bit pain. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Bleeding/pain/swelling together, by themselves, or in any combination, are red flags.  You need help.

Question 5

my dentist told me that stopping smoking has caused soreness & redness in the palate of my mouth. has been there for 1 month plus now is this common?

Accepted Answer

Hmmmmmm.: I'm not sure if i personally would agree with that observation. Smoking can and will cause changes to the soft tissues of your mouth, including the palate. I would think that over time, the tissues will revert back to their natural healthy state, unless there has been some irreversible damage. You might want to check with an oral surgeon regarding the health of the tissues of your palate.

Question 6

my 3 year old complaints of her mouth that is sore, when i looked i saw its very red and white patches at her soft palate do i need to take her to the gp?

Accepted Answer

Dentist: Start with a pedodontic dentist for an evaluation. Diagnosis is key here.

Question 7

i am suffering from swelling and sore of upper palate in mouth area nausea and lil bit pain. is it normal? docter says its oval ulcer.. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Mouth sore: Many conditions within the mouth may cause this and most are benign and resolve fully in a short period of time. One very common condition is a burn from hot food not appreciated when caused during later but felt later. Other inflammatory lesions such as ulcers resolve on their own without treatment. If this is not improving seek physician evaluation.

Question 8

palate is sore and there are 2 big not elevated red spots just above the uvula. i have had this for 3 days now. i can swallow easily but mouth hurts.

Accepted Answer

See your dentist.: It's impossible to say without an exam and evaluation and possibly a biopsy by an oral surgeon. I would recommend getting it looked at right away.

Question 9

after having foot surgery three weeks ago i began feeling soreness/pain on the hard palate of my mouth. just figured it came from some type of tube?

Accepted Answer

Foot surgery: While that does sound like an intubation thing, the best course is to check  with your surgeon .

Question 10

i have tonsil stones and was extracting them and noticed two white patches behind each tonsil on each side of mouth. almost at the bottom of the palate-pharyngeal arch. is this just more tonsil stones? no pain/soreness. just looks the same both side?

Accepted Answer

: Might be a good idea to see the ENT (Ear, Nose &amp; Throat) Specialist to take a look at them and also to find out why One  is a Stone-Former and what could be done to limit or stop more tonsil stone formation
