Just wanted some advice really. Have been
getting recurrent single small blister
like white spots on my soft palate for
quite a while. They give me the feeling
that something is stuck in my throat and
if I pop them, I get sore throat, neck and
ear pain. They last a few weeks then go
only to recur later. I have been tested
for mono and thyroid - all negative and my
doctor has said I am fine. During the
last episode, I found a small painless
lump on my gum behind my last molar. The
dentist said it was an abscess and I have
since had 14 days of antibiotics and a
root canal on a nearby tooth. The
swelling has kept discharging and
refilling since then and I have had
several of these blisters/spots. I have
noticed that they all seem to occur with a
cm of this abscess. I also have a small
painful lump about 1 - 2 inches below my
ear. Could this be a swollen gland and
could these spots be due to this
abscess/infection? Obviously I am
concerned I have cancer but my doctor says
the feeling of something stuck in my
throat would be continuous not
intermittant. Any ideas anyone?

Did you go back to your dentist after your
antibiotics ran out? When I had mine I
needed to go back for refills because the
swelling didn't go down.
An abscess is an infection that can spread
and cause troubles for other parts of your
head and throat. You need to go back to
the doctor and get more antibiotics and
make sure you take them all.
What did the doctor say the cause of all
these lumps were?
