What Causes Palate Dots With Pain And Headaches?

A couple hours ago, I ate two hard boiled eggs (I often eat these) and out of the blue the roof of my mouth hurt a fair amount. I tried to drink some water to help, it didn t help. I looked at my mouth in the mirror and didn t see anything unusual. The pain was already easing up and clearly fading away so I was like watev, random weirdness but no biggy. I laid down for bed, hours passed, couldn t sleep, been stressed alot lately. Got up for some water and grabbed a pudding as well. the pain came right back. I again looked at my mouth in a mirror and this time saw the roof is white with red dots, almost looks like the roof of my mouth has been stabbed with a needle. I don t feel or see any bumps, theirs no swelling either. I have no idea what it could be, I m not dehydrated, I drinks lots of water. Also, a headache in the temples seems to accompany the palate pain. Any thoughts on what could be wrong with the roof of my mouth? the pain is just past the mid of my mouth towards the throat. All the roof and my throat is white but the red dots are only where the pain is. I don t feel sick either

Dentist 's  Response
Helloo.read through your query.Accordingly i must say that there is nothing to be worried in this.Its just a bruise caused due to hot eggs(burn on the palate).The mucosa of the posterior palate is very thin and get burnt very easily.Nothing much to be worried.You continue drinking water preferebly cold water,if you have pain while having food apply mucopain gel(anasthetic gel),have lots of citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables(it promotes healing at a faster rate),do salt water gargle (it heals faster).Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent any infection.Follow these for a week and see the difference.If any symptoms of infection comes meet up a dentist and get it treated.Be cool and stay happy.Happy and cool mind can be best medicine to any disease.Hope u r benefitted something from this reply.Have a healthy day!!!
