What Causes A Lump With White Patches On The Right Side Of The Mouth?

Hi there.I have a lump (looks like a cyst) on the right side of my mouth at the base of the palatoglossal arch and younger with a few white marks on the infected red area? Also, my sinuses have been a bit blocked. What do you think this could be? Thank you Adam

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

A lump on palatoglossal arch with blocked sinuses can be due to Infection and inflammation arising from the sinuses that might be causing infected post nasal drip..
Other causes can be mucous cyst or Mucocele or abscess..
So a clinical examination should be done by an Emergency doctor..
A course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers can help..
Also do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Take soft diet..
Watch for a week to see the improvement..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
I find this answer helpful
