What Causes Bump In Gum?
I noticed pain in the side of my mouth near my gums and assumed it was the growth of a wisdom tooth, I m only 19. However after feeling with my fingers I ve noticed a small bump in the soft pallet right next to my gum. Should i be concerned or is it just swelling?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
In most of the cases it resolves itself in few days. Main thing it causes is pain while eating or when you touch it with tongue. If pain occurs then i would recommend you to use lignocaine gel on the swelling.
Consult local hospital if:
> condition does not improve in 2-3 days
> any other symptom appears
> condition aggravates
Hope you will be better soon.
