Hard bump on roof of mouth, freaking out!
Please see my post under the Dental Health section in the Doctors forum. :(I
No I was saying that if it was an infection and was there before the antibiotics, wouldn't those strong meds have cured it? It's still there after taking the meds which has me worried as to what it could b. It's about the size of a small pea and hard. It almost feels like bone but not sharp. No ulceration and not sore at all. :( Thank you!
Hi Jenny,
It’s not uncommon to cause ulcers in the mouth by hitting or jabbing yourself with a toothbrush or even food upon consumption.
As previously mentioned a clinical examination is always the best bet. your dentist should be able to determine the symptoms of this “bump” and easily guide you with the correct dental experience and knowledge of oral health.
I highly doubly that your antibiotics would have caused any kind or oral reaction, do your best to remain relaxed and make sure to inform your local dentist as soon as you’re able.

Thank you Dr. This bump is just a little the right of the midline. I don't know how long it's been there. I just noticed it on Jan 10th. I have just finished a 14 day therapy of antibiotics for h pylori. 2000 mg amoxicillin and 1000 mg biaxin. If it was an infection, wouldn't the antibiotics cleared it up? I'm scared. I had a dentist appt today but they called and cancelled. Now I can't get in fir three more weeks. The bump is hard. Nonpalpable. Same color as palate. It has not gotten any bigger. I'm scared it's cancerous. A little while back I jabbed the toothbrush into the roof of my mouth and hurt it. Same area. Could this have caused the bump? I will go crazy in another three weeks. :(

Hi,
A clinical examination is very important for correct diagnosis and management. It is possible that you are having mandibular torus .This is a thickening or growth that occurs in the inner part of the mandible. No treatment is usually needed unless they interfere with the normal functions or you need to use a denture or prostheses. I will recommend you to see an oral surgeon for a confirmation of the diagnosis. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
