I woke up this morning and felt a few small lumps in the roof of my mouth. They don't hurt, but my tongue keeps drifting up there annoying them. Does anyone know what they are? I have a persistent on/off cold for about 6 weeks now so maybe it's something to do with that.

Have you eaten or drank anything hot or spicy lately, RR?

I get them if I eat anything too spicy, doesn't last long after treatment.
Could be small mouth/gum ulcers which can be treated by Bonjela gel being massaged in.
.....you could always make an appt and ask a nurse at your GPs for advice, or perhaps a chemist to tell you what they recommend for it.

If your really worried about them, and dont feel they are small ulcers, to give you peace of mind, book appointment to see your GP.

Hi Yogi. I'm not really worried about them per se, as they popped up overnight. Just feels a bit odd. I haven't eaten anything spicy. Last night I just had egg, chips and beans for dinner. If they don't settle after a few days I'll speak to the GP, I need to book an appointment anyway.
That happens to me quite often, Rocky. Hard little lumps, not ulcers but raised lumps under the skin. It seems to happen when my sinuses are playing up or I've had a bad cold. They are annoying but they do disappear.

That's seems to be it, Tilly. They're definitely not ulcers, no stinging at all.
It would tie in with this persistent cold, that's for sure.
Hi again, rocky

It could be to do with your cold you've had for a while, you said, but probably best to check out with a GP or someone in the medical profession, just to ease your mind.

I normally get at least one, after eating a hot curry, which I won't be eating for a while, as last month had a duodenal ulcer bleed and needed emergency treatment in hospital plus recuperation afterwards for about a month.....only on mild Curry's such as Kormas at present.

Good luck, rocky, getting it sorted :-) x

Blimey, Yogi. That sounds like you've had a rough time of it lately. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
They are small lymph nodes in the roof of the mouth...solitary or sometimes multiple and often associated with virus infractions as you seem to have.
No big deal.
Thanks rocky...x...I'm back to my usual frisky and fit self....Back to work gigging and returned on my radio show on weekday mornings....(have an evening of retro 70's, 80's and 90's soul, jazz funk, and 'disco', starting on Friday early evening.)

Tilly's diagnosis seems spot on, so don't worry, rocky, and GP visit will confirm. x

Brilliant... Sqad's answered and good to hear his opinion.

I wouldn't go to the GP. with lumps on the roof of my mouth. They are very transitory and not at alarming.
