Noticed A Painful Bump On The Right Side Of The Mouth

There is 1 bump on each side of my mouth on the right or left of the uvula, towards the back. This is normal, but one side, my right side, really hurts. It's sort of above my right tonsil but not that close, as it is more in the back of my mouth on the arch. I hurts to swallow and even slant my mouth to the right as if I was going to make an "unsure" looking facial expression. This pain can even slightly go in the side of my face (under the sideburns area). There is no swollen tissue, no odd bumps or discoloration, and it is just warm and slightly redder than the left side (not enough to be scary and noticeable). What do you think my issue is?

Dentist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be due to impacted wisdom tooth, sinus infection, cold.
I would suggest you to get a thorough checkup done.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gragles.
If there is prolonged cold get it treated.
Look for any impacted or infected tooth.

Take care!
