Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bump in mouth since one year which could be due to dental infection from acrylic surface of denture, due to embedded root stump, sinusitis and dental caries. It could be due to palantine torus as well. I would suggest you to visit oral surgeon once and get it examined. You should go for Occulucal radiograph and orthopantomograoh( OPG). From radio-graphic findings exact diagnosis can be made out and treatment can be done. Till then take proper antibiotic course such as Amoxicillin to subside infection. Do warm saline gargles as well. Avoid extreme sharp and spicy food substances. It can be excised surgically. Denture could be remade if it is hurting oral mucosa.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
