What Causes Swelling Inside Mouth And Between Molars?
Dr. over the years, I have observed a small annoying swelling inside my mouth and between my molars. It appears suddenly and stays for a day or two at times, and dissapears without treatment. I have observed that my appears when I eat or swallow certain cold food or when I drink very cold water. I use my tongue to probe it and its painless. when I notice it, I usually will start drinking hot fluids and within hours it dissapears on its own. What is this, and what is the cause. should I be worried?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swelling between the molars can be because of the tooth or gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
If it is a tooth infection, it can be treated with root canal treatment. If it is a gum infection, it can be treated with scaling and root planing.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care
