Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Mouth
Hello. Recently, for about the last three days, I have experienced a swelling inside my mouth, on the right side of the roof, just where my tongue feels the beginning of my soft palate. It is hard and sensitive to the touch. There is also a small sore right next to it that is also new. Today, I noticed also swollen gland at the back of my jaw on the right.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling and the pain in the palate is because of the tooth or gum infection.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. Once the diagnosis is confirmed we can treat accordingly.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
