I ve got a lump on my upper palate , its hard and painless, I first noticed it 3 days ago, and it doesn t change. It may help you , but just before the New Year I ve got the problem with excessive mucus , and I went to doctors and CT it, but they said it s nothing to worry, but it never gone. My age is 39, female, smoker, height 174 cm, weight 65 kg.
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, lump on the palate could be due to numerous causes, but looking at the symptoms you are stating it seems to related to salivary glands situated on the hard palate, there are numerous minor salivary glands situated in the region of hard palate, or it could be due to any infection of the teeth of the upper jaw, they are normally slow growing, if you could click a few photos of the swelling and send the soft copy(com images of the ct scan if you have or click pictures of the ct scan, then I will be able to guide you better. You can email me the picture at: Chat Doctor. Co.uk or smilenfacedental@gmail.com
