For now, NO. Take Tylenol and monitor only!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these lumps that you have reported. I have reviewed the attached image. This is suggestive of intact mouth sores. I will not recommend any doctor visit at this time. However, I will return to controlling the pain and rinsing with an oral antiseptic thrice daily. If this fails to resolve, only at that time will I suggest further evaluation. For now, no!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
