A common mouth ulcer usually heals withing 2 weeks. There are many lumps and bumps in our mouth. Some are supposed to be there, such as saliva glands, oil glands etc. If one gets infected, it can be sore and swollen. As it has persisted, it is time to get it checked. You should see your regular dentist for a check. If the diagnosis is not clear, they will send you to an oral surgeon or an oral pathologist for further testing and examination.
