Suggest Treatment For Painful Knot On Roof Of Mouth
I have a dime size knot on the top of the roof of my mouth right beside where I had a molar extracted. It s painful and been there for six weeks. I do still have a large opening where it was removed. I even have pain in the ear on that side. My roots of my teeth go all the way in my sinus cavity, so I had to go to a special surgeon. After my follow up he gave me antibiotics and a syringe which I do warm salt water daily. I m out of antibiotics and still in pain. What should I do?

Hello,
Read your query, as you have painful knot like swelling near to extraction socket this swelling can be due to unhealed socket may be infection is still there in extraction socket causing swelling and sinus formation for this you should consult good oral surgeon and go for curretage of extraction socket and Zinc oxide eugenol pack if needed .
In meantime you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, Do betadine gargle twice daily , consult your dentist as early as possible for its treatment.
Hope this will help you.

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The pain tightness or open socket couls be a oroantral fistula.. consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get it treated by placing a buccal or palatal pedicle flap. If it is not treated then the problem with taking food, what ever you drink it wl come through nose and you will develop maxillary sinusitis. Get it treated immediately. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
