Q: attachment on roof of mouth
asked by: imago17sx on June 23rd, 2008

Hello friends - I was wondering if I can get any help at all with this problem I am having...I constantly feel this slimy saliva small ball-like attachment on the right side of the ceiling of my mouth about where the hard & soft pallates meet. I can especially feel this with the tip of my tongue.

I first noticed it after a long road trip I took across Canada exactly 1 year ago... So this problem has been persisting for about a year. When I look into my mouth in the mirror, it is barely visible to me - but when I touch it with the tip of my tongue it seems very significant. My family doctor agreed that there is something "membraneous" on the right side of the ceiling of my mouth.

I was subsequently referred to an ear, nose and throat specialist & he said there is nothing wrong and that he sees nothing in there after taking a look inside my mouth with a flashlight.

But it is there...On the right side of my mouth & not on the left...the left side of my mouth is clear but on the right side this salival ball is constantly there.

Any idea what it can be & how I can get rid of it? Any medications? I'm getting pretty desperate since the ear nose and throat doctor didn't help in person.

get second opinion
Sometimes you need to get a 2nd opinion from a ent. I went to one and she told me nothing was wrong with my nasals after putting a micrscope up there looking around. I went to another one later, and he said I had a deviated nasal septum..I had the surgery, but I still have this problem.. but as for you, get another opinion..
