Suggest Treatment For Painful Bump On Roof Of Mouth During Pregnancy

I have a very swollen, red, and painful bump on roof of my mouth towards the back. It is a bit painful to eat and even to drink. I have been gargling with salt water which usually helps with sore throats, but this pain is not going away. I recently had a cold and this is when it appeared or at least became painful. The cold is almost gone, but the swollen bump continues to worsen - what should i do. Oh, and I m pregnant so trying to be careful about what I take.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a cold sore.
It is usually harmless and should go away on its own.
I suggest to gargle with salty water.
I also recommend to use Tylenol for the pain which is safe to use during pregnancy.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
