What Could The White Raised Bump In Mouth Be?
hi
i have noticed a white raised bump -- feels hardish on the floor of my mouth on the side. I can feel it when i move my tongue towards the side of my mouth. I have looed at in the mirror and it looks like a ulcer or open sore -- the top that was white had fallen open and the spot feels a bit raw

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query , aa you feel white raised bump in floor of the mouth this can be ulcer or inflammation of submandibular gland situated at the floor of the mouth so there is nothing to be worried but I will suggest you to consult dentist for oral examination of floor of the mouth .
Inmean time do warm saline rinses , you can apply ointment like Mucopain or Mugel on ulcer , take vitamin B supplements.
Hope this will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white raised bump in the floor of the mouth can be a sialolith near the salivary gland duct opening or it can be a traumatic ulcer with white slough.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take a radiograph like mandibular cross sectional occlusal radiograph to rule out the sialolith or stone in the duct. If it is confirmed, you can get it removed by surgical excision.
If it is a traumatic ulcer, it can be treated with topical anesthetic and analgesic like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel. Apply 3-4times daily for 5 days.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
