A member asked:

I have a tender bump on the roof of my mouth wasn't much yesterday but seems to be getting larger and more tender today and ideas what it could be?

Well: Can be an abscess or inflamed area. Recommend Healthtap visit or visit to a dentist or primary care doctor for diagnosis and treatment
