'blister' in mouth
by JeWeL41, Jul 05, 2008 12:01PM
I have a 'blister' at the back of my mouth on the gum between the upper and lower jaw (past my teeth). It is painless, has been coming and going for the past few weeks and often pops with a fairly tasteless fluid. IIt is about 1mmx5mm. I also have enlarged glands on that side of my neck which ache (scanned 18 months ago and said to be reactive lymph glands) and suffered sudden hearing loss in that ear in November 2006. I have a lot of ear and left side head pain too but this is all thought to be linked to my recent diagnosis of Menieres disease. My teeth are good, very few fillings, see a dentist regularly and have never had an abscess or any problems. I don't smoke or drink anything but de-caff green tea.What could this 'blister' be? Why is it painless? and could it be linked to my deafness and gland pain and earache?

Oral blister(vesicle) is commonly associated with viral infection or vesiculo-bullous disease.Seeing an oral patholgist is advised to establish final diagnosis.Ear symptoms may be associated with tmj. If no structural pathology identified by ENT, seeing a tmj specialist is advised.
