Lump in mouth: Do you smoke? The lump on roof of mouth--- what color? Is it off-white? When scratching, does it bleed? Difficulty swallowing? Major dental work before this problem started? Tonsils/adenoids previously removed? When lump in throat occurs, is there swelling of tongue, lips, or roof of mouth? Please see your regular doctor for exam when symptoms recur.
