Swollen Palate Toothache Sore Throat And Fever. Pain In Palate When Touched By Tongue Or Chewing Food

Hi my name is angelo. Before I had this swollen hard palate I had a toothache (2 days) and then followed by sore throat (1 day) then followed by fever (1 day) then this swollen hard palate I have now. My hard palate is swollen and it is in pain when it is been touched by my tongue or when I'm chewing food. I already seen my dentist and she told me that there is no any problem about my hard palate swollen or any thing in my mouth. She just prescribed me to use oral mouthwash 2-3 times daily and apply iodine liquid 3-5 times a day. I didn't find any iodine liquid so what I did, I use Oral mouthwash 3 times a day and then I rinsed my affected hard palate with warm salt water 4-5 times a day. Now, it is already 4 days and still nothing has change. May I ask if it is really long to treat this swollen hard palate and may I ask if there is a better way to treat this. thank you so much.

Hello,

Swollen hard palate usually occur due to-deep dental caries of associated tooth or periodontal infection as well as traumatic injury to any tooth.

I would advice you to visit a dentist and get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done.

Based on the investigations,root canal treatment of the respective tooth as well as drainage of abscess has to be done.

Complete course of analgesics along with antibiotics has to be administered.

Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.

Take care.
