[|Human|] I have a very swolen ball where the hard plate meets the soft plate. It is very sore because i play with it with my tongue but cant help it. When i play with it it becomes soft and taste like something is seeping out of it. And it hurts really bad. I am just getting over a cold or somethin that lasted 3 days but made me caugh really bad. But the swelling just showed up this morning. Should i be worried. Just live with it.......or......can i pop it???? Thanks Dj
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling could be a muscle that is cystic lesion of salivary gland. Or it could be an abscess secondary to tooth infection. Consult an oral physician and take a radiograph of the tooth and confirm the diagnosis. If it is a muscle get it surgically enucleated. If it is an abscess get the affected tooth canal treated or extracted. You can take a course of antibiotics after consulting the physician. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
