A member asked:

Causes of redness on roof of mouth??? and appropriate treatment for it??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Treatment depends on the cause and I regret that it is not feasible to discern the cause without examining you. Did you burn/scald the roof of your mouth? You may wish to wait it out. If it is not better in a couple of weeks, please consult a doctor in-person.
