Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

As per your complain soreness of roof of the mouth along with burnt feeling and swollen glands can be due to infection in the roof of the mouth and throat leading to inflammation..

It can also be due to throat infection, post nasal drip, acid reflux or laryngeopharyngeal reflux etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like oral swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now start gargling with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Do cool compresses over the palate..
Drink plenty of water and take a soft diet..

Hope this helps..
