What Causes Sore On The Roof Of Mouth?

I have had a sore on the roof of my mouth behind my upper teeth for over a week now and it will not go away. I It is causing me very bad headaches, and also makes my gums sore. I can take advil every 4 hours and it relieves the pain, but the pain is back before it is time to take more advil. Do you know what this might be? Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do for it. Thanks

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness on the roof of the mouth can be because of the tooth infection or gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxyxcillin (if you are not allergic). You need to take a radiograph like IOPAR to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
