[|Human|] I have terrible sinuses. I get frequent infections, particularly in tr maxillary sinuses. However, I had a filling in one of my top, back left teeth Thursday. I already had sore throat when I went in. My throat has become increasingly painful and over the course of today (Friday) I notice a marble size lump on the roof of my mouth toward my top right furthest back molar. The prompt care dr said it is an abscess and sent me to the ER, BUT I called the dentist on call before going to the ER and she told me NOT to go to ER and gave me Amoxicillin 500mg TIDx7d.  How can I tell I its dental or sinus related??
[|AI|]  Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types. It can be due to infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess Chat Doctor.  According to your clinical history I suspect your upper tooth which has already got a filling has got infection that has spread to the palatal area leading to formation of abscess in the form of lump. Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs.  I would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned.  Consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done. I hope this helps, take care.
