Sore Throat, Lump On Roof Of Mouth, Sore To Touch, Tiny Hole And White Discolouration Around Lump. Causes And Treatment?
hi there, i have had a sore throat for the past three days and a lump has been on the roof of my mouth, hard and sore to touch. on checking the lump tonight i have noticed there is a tiny hole appearing and now seems to be turning white around the lump. I would be obliged if someone could advise me to what this could be as I am now starting to worry. Many Thanks
