I recently found a hard, immovable lump on the roof of my mouth where the hard palate meets the soft palate on the left side. I also have trouble swallowing (liquids, food, spit) because of pain associated with the lump. It doesn't bleed, but is very red. It doesn't look like a canker sore. I've had it for about two weeks with no changes. I've never smoked or used tobacco products and I'm 25.

Hi LH/SP

Have you seen your dentist or doctor about this? Anything that hasn't cleared up in a couple of weeks should be checked out. I strongly urge you to go.

As a temporary measure against the pain, you might want to try Chloraseptic spray or extra strength Sucrets.

Please let us know how this turns out.
