A member asked:
When i shine a light at my soft palate i see a bunch of tiny tinyyy bumps and one of them hurts after i ate and turned into pimple. what is that?

Salivary glands: You probably bumped or scraped one of them and it became inflamed and swollen. It should go away on its own. Do not go poking at it. Can happen when eating things like chips , crusty bread, and crackers. Good Luck.
