White bump in mouth

by newguy4, May 14, 2008 08:40AM
Hi I'm a 21 year old male and the last month and a half I'ne voticed two white bumps in my mouth. They are right above the tonsils, on what may be the soft palate lining. They don't affect me in any way other than they are there. I can push on them with my tongue, and it feels like my mouth is making like a little popping sound when I do. It's not painful to the tongue at all, and a little painful if I push in with my finger.

I don't smoke or drink, and I'm hoping this isn't some type of cancer. I'm really worried about it, and maybe its jsut there from stress. I've had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for a few months as well, but they have been there longer then the white spots on my mouth. I've been worried about those, but they feel reactive, and they seem to shrink in grow over time, but never go completely away.

I've tried gargling salt water though not for more than 3 or 4 days, and it didnt help. The bump looks like an ulcer but it isn't. It's not painful like a canker sore. So I'm just stumped.

I was wrong. The bump is before my tonsils in my mouth, If you follow my bottom gums back to the wisdom tooth area, their is a line that starts to run up your mouth. The bump is towards the top of that right around where the hard and soft palate are.

Seeing an ENT is advised.
