question: Hi! For the past year, I have had a small lump on my upper palate, in the middle, by the incisives. It goes from being felt to disappear. It has been painful at times, while other times is not. Feels like a needle up my gums up to the nose. Sometimes seems like there is a discharge, no colour, but saliva gets a bit foamy. Went to 2 different dentists in the past 9 months, they both took a scan & they say there is nothing wrong, just floss & use Corsodyl. Did that but pain & discomfort comes back at times. Especially after drinking alcohol at weekends. Or using e-cigarettes which I have been smoking (instead of normal cigarettes) since almost a year. Chewing ginger helps a lot, but I am still concerned. Could both dentists miss some other gum problems? Herpes, sdts or else? Told them I had a little fish bone hurting the upper palate a year ago, but the scan only shows receding gums & nothing else. Tks in advance. K
