Answered by Dr. Tarun Gupta

What could a bump on the back of the roof of the mouth be?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query, and it seems that the bump which is painful and which gives radiating pain to ear and head is because of your third molar and this tooth is infected as the food gets entrapped between the tooth and soft tissue covering that tooth. For this, avoid eating too hot or too cold. Wash out oral cavity after every meal with mouthwash and warm saline. Do not apply external heat to that area, especially keeping your hand on that area.

Please let me know the do's and dont's after wisdom tooth removal.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Take precautions for 24 hours if the wisdom tooth has been extracted non-surgically but, if the tooth has been removed by surgical intervention with sutures placed, then take precautions until the sutures are removed. Do not take hard food. Do not open your mouth wide. Do not gargle forcefully.

Why do I have fluid-filled gum swelling and metallic taste?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query. The condition you wrote may be due to several reasons:- 1) Due to burning by hot drink is possible but usually, it is seen in the anterior (front) of mouth. 2) It can be aphthous ulcer which is normally seen in the mouth but they are painful. 3) Are you on any medication like antibiotics not specified in your question? 4) Ulcer may be due to some mouth dissolving medication which might have burnt that area.
