Soft Palate: It could be from something as simple as trauma to your soft palate (i.e. pizza burn); or it could be something more serious, as an underlying pathology. Probably best to get it looked at professionally.

See a doctor: There can be many contributing factors including allergies, sinus infections, tooth infections or mononucleosis, just to name a few. Treatments vary depending on the cause and a doctor’s visit is necessary. See a doctor for evaluation, tests and treatment if needed.
