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.

Sore palate: There are several possibilities. This is impossible to diagnose without a clinical exam and additional information. See your dentist or an ENT specialist.
