There’s a white bump in the back of my mouth. I got them before put I just get a toothpick and it picked it off. They never annoyed me but I have one today but I can’t take it out because my gums are covering it so it feels like a sharp pain. What is this and what can I do about it?
You could have a tonsillar lith (stone) They are white globs that accumulate on the tonsil while you body’s fighting low grade infections (sinus flare up, keeping you from getting a cold, etc). They are accumulated dead bacteria, viruses and/or white blood cells. They stink and can sometimes be a little painful due to inflammation in the surrounding tissue. gargle with salt water and take advil (if you’re not allergic). it will go away eventually. It’ll probably annoy you and then finally go away.

Could be a blister or it might be an ifection. Probably something you should get checked out.

It sounds like an ulcer.
They seem to come from eating a lot of salty or acidic foods.
It seems those types of foods irritate the soft tissues in the mouth. Try swishing salt water in your mouth. That seems to speed along the healing process.Also, try to steer clear of acidic, salty and prickly foods for a while, until it heals.
