[|Human|] There is a small lump on the roof of my mouth. It has been there for 3 days. it is small in circumference but sticks out a bit. like a tiny ball is stuck underneath the skin. It is located about a half inch from my last molar. It feels like a firm piece of cartilage because its not squishy but can be pushed and wiggled a bit. It doesn t hurt unless I put pressure on it. It is just very annoying. I had a cold about 3 and a half weeks ago and I am still having flem in the morning. Could this be a swollen sinus that is affected by the daily flem?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for the query. The history given suggests it may be a salivary duct obstruction known as sialolithiasis it pains only on applying pressure on to it.  Usually sialolithiasis occurs in the floor of the mouth involving submandibular duct obstruction but presents with pain and swelling of the gland. It could be because of any infection caused by trauma in that area. I would advise you to see your dentist to rule out the exact cause for the formation of lump in the palatal area. Hope this information helps you.
