General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history and understood the problem.
The growing swelling in the roof of the mouth can be an abscess into the preexisting adenoma or a cyst of the minor salivary gland.

I would advise you the following:
-First of all, do not puncture or fondle with it as this may create secondary infection and cause more problems.
-Get an opinion of an ENT or Oral Surgeon as soon as possible for a proper clinical diagnosis.
-Get CT scan of the area to see the extent, and other relevant investigations of the blood, urine and stool.
-Get operated to get a cure.

I find this answer helpful
