swollen palate

This is a strange symtom and it only happens on occasion during my first meal of the day.

On occasion when I eat bread the roof on my month aches and the only way I can describ the pain is to say that if feels swollen or a muscle strain.

Is there a name for this?  I thought I was the only one who experienced this pain however a friend of mine mentioned the exact symtoms.

Thank you

It is hard to diagnose over the internet.  Do you get any swelling?  It does not sound too serious but you could always have it looked at when it occurs.
