What Does Puss Filled Lump On Roof Of Mouth Indicate?
My sister n law went to the emergency room yesterday for a lump on the roof od her mouth. It is a little smaller than a quart, filled with a greenish puss and blood. She noticed it a couple of days ago. After they drained it, it quickly filled up again. They are going to run a test. I am thinking an infection. does it sound like something that could be cancerous? I am thimking not because it appeared so fast and the fluid.
