Hi
With you query, as you mentioned it as tori, actual meaning of tori is literally means extra growth of bone. As such, this growth will not cause any injury or trauma any sort of pathological disturbances except esthetic appearance if it is present on labial side or front side of teeth.In reagrd to your mentioned swelling could be an abscess of either periodontal or periapical origin.If it is tori you can get osteoplasty done by the oral surgeon but if it is an abscess one must rule out the cause and treat it.Avoid uncessary use of antibiotics 'coz even after antibiotics and pain killers you complain of pain which means its not an infection.Secondly, if swelling is on the floor of mouth make sure all the salivary ducts are patent i mean there is no obstruction which may be due to caluculi.If it is a salivary caluculi you will have increase in pain while eating due to exces sproduction saliva.Hope this is informative and please seek your dentist attention.
