If you’re experiencing a swollen roof of mouth (also known as palate), there can be many contributing factors including allergies, irritants found in foods, injury which is due to bones or sharp foods, colds, sinus infections, illness and more serious conditions such as mononucleosis which caused by Epstein-Barr virus or palate cancer. Treatments vary depending on the condition, and a doctor’s visit may be necessary if the swollen roof persists or worsens.
cluster headaches. The roof of the mouth thing is just an oddity. The real terror is the head pain in the trigemital nerve and a a prognosis of cluster. I hope for your sake I'm wrong. I wish for my sake I was.

My daughter started last week with these exact same symptoms-esp a burn like swelling on the left side of her mouth adjacent to her two back teeth. Teeth are throbbing, but she feels more pressure than pain on the roof of her mouth. Unfortunately the dentist and endontist thought it was abcessed tooth-yesterday she had root canal on TWO GOOD TEETH!! There was nothing wrong with either one of them!!. Tomorrow we go to the oral surgeon. I am sick over this and now wish I had stopped them from doing anything to her. This is going to cost me $1000.00 for nothing but pain to her and still no diagnosis.
