<s>[INST] So I've had this bump on the roof of my mouth for 3 days now. The first day I woke up with it there and it was small. I didn't mess with it and that night it went down. The next day it was back again but still small. I decided to see if it would pop because it hurts to eat and swallow. It didn't pop nothing came out. Now I woke up today and its big and looks kind of yellow now instead of just flesh colored. What could it be? I will go to the dentist but I work all week so I need to see if you know how to ease the pain in the mean time. I've taken ibuprofen and it works but I don't want to keep taking them. [/INST] Hello,Thanks for consulting HCMRead your query as you have small swelling on roof of the mouth dont be worried so much this could be due to infection in tooth or in gums .I will suggest you to consult dentist for oral examination and investigations Iopa Xray to rule out the cause of infection . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day and you can take medicine like Amoxicillin and ketrol dt by consulting with your local doctor .Hope this will help you. </s>
