Suggest Remedy For A Lump In The Palate

I have something very large at the roof of my mouth, it started off small, but over the years its getting so big it gets in the way of me talking, I ve never seen anything like this with anyone else. I m very concerned about it being a tumor. sometimes it hurts when I eat because it pushes it around.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump on the palate can be because of a cyst or a benign tumor of odontogenic origin, or it can be a tori in the palate. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. If it is a cyst of tooth origin, you can get the tooth treated with root canal treatment and get the cyst enucleated. If it is a benign tumor or tori, you can get it surgically removed. But get the treatment done as early as possible.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
