Did you eat or drink anything that was too hot, by any chance? I sometimes get a blister on the roof of my mouth if I bite into food that hasn’t cooled down enough.
You have two, actually, they are a pair, they have some obscure purpose which I can’t now recall. I went to my dentist with this very problem, check it out first, is there one on the other side as well? It’s supposed to be there - relax.
Kelli, could it be a sinus infection. I have hole in the bottom of my sinus cavity. When I get a sinus infection, a pus pocket can build up on the roof of my mouth.
i tend to get bumps on the roof of my mouth, too. always in the same spot, on either side. it only really bothers me when i eat something crunchy or brush my teeth in that area… but in a few days it’s gone.
after telling the dentist about it, he said " i can give you something for it and it’ll be gone in seven days, or else you can just leave it alone and it’ll be gone in a week."
so if it’s the same thing - don’t worry about it.

Kellibelli, the others have urged you to a doctor, so this is beating the subject, but call your dentist first, and DON’T wait for your appointment in a couple of weeks. Call as soon as you can to change it. It probably isn’t anything, but you ARE thinking about it, and it would be worth it just to get it off your mind.
HP Type 1? Hewlett-Packard makes viruses now? It’s HSV.
Handy’s magical statistic fairy is back. HSV-1’s prevalence is closer to 80%. Depending on the population.
I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find a half an hour a week in which to get funky.
The information comes from working with and exclusively studying HSV-1 in a herpesvirus lab for the past four years.
Unfortunately, my Field’s Virology isn’t here on vacation with me. You are saying that virtually everyone has HSV-1. It is a common virus, but I still maintain that its seroprevalence is below 99%.

HSV-1 seropositives under 99%? Well, okay, but that depends on what group you are testing. There is some Seroepidemiological
statistics on the net. But let’s just say that it’s a lot of people.
“Cold sores, also called fever blisters, are a
painful infection caused by the herpes simplex
virus (HSV)-Type 1”
“Ninety percent of all people get at least one cold
sore in their lives.”
