HI.
The first thing to do is stop touching or fiddling it. As such a large lump can take a long time to heal if it is on the hard palate ( bony part).

This can be an abscess or infected minor salivary gland tumor and needs a special attention of a oral surgeon or ENT surgeon.
Till you get an appointment- take very soft diet, pain-killers if you have.
