I'm not sure if "Dental Infections" would be the appropriate topic for the nature of this inquiry, so advance apologies if it isn't.
I have detected a persistent pain on my soft palate. It is at the very back, approximately parallel to my backmost wisdom teeth. At either, outer edge of the "raised", harder, circular center of the palate, if brushed with my tongue, I can feel an unusual texture. It feels a bit rough or I suppose just textured in general would also suffice to explain. To be honest, I don't often acquaint myself with what the texture of my mouth's roof should be like normally, so I can't commit myself totally to how strange this texture actually is.
My issue however, isn't the texture but the pain that these two areas are suffering me with. Particularly when swallowing food, the sore on the right becomes immediately painful.
I've done as much searching as I can do and still understand (it's admittedly hard for me to differentiate and sort through all of the information out there on account of my limited knowledge of oral health, all the terms, etc). I have ruled out canker sores and oral cancer (I hope). There doesn't seem to be any real discolouring yet that I can see. I will check again for changes, but any suggestions or suggestions for further reading/research would be appreciated.
