get yourself examined. palate gets swollen due to pus ( abscess). your body's immunity makes it become small or large.
platal abscess is usually caused due to infection from a carious upper tooth, the treatment of which could vary from root canal to extraction along with antibiotics an painkillers , so please go to a dentist as soon as possible.
thanks

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your concern with us
This growth takes the form of a hard lump which will grow slowly over time. Patients may opt to have a torus removed if it makes them feel uncomfortable or interferes with eating and speech. An ear, nose, and throat surgeon can perform the surgery to remove the torus.
You can contact me directly through my profile.

hello and welcome,
After reading your history i can suspect you hard palate is inflammed and has developed swelling.
because of the swelling , hard palate appears smaller or shallower.
Inflammation can be due injury to the palatal mucosa , mechanical or chemical injury , allergies due to food products , sore food stuffs , hot or spicy foods .
INflammation of minor salivary gland may lead to palatal swelling.
Ulceration caused due to viral infections like herpes.
xerostomia leading to bacterial or fungal infections of the palatal mucosa.
exact diagnosis can be made only by clinical examination so get it evaluated by a dentist.
Meantime you can use antiseptic mouth wash like betadine or chlorhexidine for oral rinsing.
apply dentogel ointment over the palatal mucosa will give relief.
i hope this helps,
take care.

Hi,
Thank you for the query.
According to the history it suggests there is infection in the palate may be leading to formation of abscess which might develop and subside by itself . It could be a palatal tori as well which is a bony over growth which might have got infected.
I would advise you to see your dentist and get a clinical examination done to rule out the exact cause for the infection , a course of antibiotic and analgesics should be taken .
Hope this information helps you.

1.palate gets swollen due to palatal abscess.this could be due to infection from a carious tooth.

2.sometimes it could be chemical or mechanical injury,or some allergies to any food products.
