About a week ago my upper left palate became a little swollen and my teeth were a bit tender. The next day, the swelling seemed to have gone down but the roof of my mouth was extremely painful. It felt like there was maybe a scratch on it. I had recently eaten a lot of very spicy stuff over a few days up until the swelling started. It has been almost a week and the pain has been awful to the point that it is very hard to eat anything. That spot on the roof of my mouth now feels very smooth.
Hi, Spicy foods as such does not cause any problem...when hot foods are served that would have burnt your mucosa... But your presentation is a smooth bump...that would have been an accidental finding...that would have been a fibrous that would have been present previously...since that would have grown in size, or you would have accidentally seen the bump you would have thought that the swelling was only for the last three days... this kind of swellings won't hurt you except for the discomfort.... Clinical evaluation is required before confirming the diagnosis...visit an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for an expert opinion.... I do hope that you have found something helpful and Informative.
