question: So I've had this bump on the roof of my mouth for 3 days now. The first day I woke up with it there and it was small. I didn't mess with it and that night it went down. The next day it was back again but still small. I decided to see if it would pop because it hurts to eat and swallow. It didn't pop nothing came out. Now I woke up today and its big and looks kind of yellow now instead of just flesh colored. What could it be? I will go to the dentist but I work all week so I need to see if you know how to ease the pain in the mean time. I've taken ibuprofen and it works but I don't want to keep taking them.
