Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suspect that you have developed infection in one of your tooth which is draining its abscess in the roof of the mouth leading swelling and pain in the roof of the mouth.
I would encourage you to visit Dentist and get the checkup done take an X-ray of the affected tooth.
Drainage of the affected tooth is required, root canal treatment has to be performed.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics under prescription of your Dentist.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!

Dentist, Pedodontics Dr. Amitabha Chakraborty's  Response
Welcome to HCM forum.. Swollen palate which arise suddenly, along with a painful tooth is generally a palatal abscess in relation to the offending tooth. Your hurting tooth is either have deep dental caries or it has a periodontal( gum) problem. There is nothing to worry. Its a very common symptom of a deeply carious tooth or a tooth having gum problem. Paining inside nostril and under eye area is mostly referred pain from your infected tooth.You can start and antibiotic like Augmentin 625 mg or Clindamycine 600 mg X 8 hourly X 5 days and Paracetamol 1gm as an when necessary to relieve pain and swelling.But it is always better to visit a dentist as early as possible, diagnose the reason for swelling and start medicines according to his/her prescription, because this kind of abscess may require drainage of pus from the abscess, and which will relieve your symptoms faster. The dentist also will start the treatment of the tooth responsible for this to avoid any future problem like this. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Swelling in roof of mouth may be caused due to-abscess drained into palate due to periodontal infection or deep caries associated tooth.

A detailed clinical as well as x-ray evaluation is necessary in such case.

Abscess has to be drained and curetted.

Get scaling done.

Infected pulp has to be exirpated out completely.

Take amoxycillin along with analgesics.

Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.

Take care.

Hi
Thanks for the query,
Pain and pressure on right eye and nostril is due to abscess formation due to a infected tooth on right side.
Consult dentist for clinical and radiographical examination done to rule out the offending tooth.
The tooth needs an emergency access opening to relieve the pressure due to pus.
Root canal treatment is required for that tooth.
Take care
