Infections and Allergies
Painful sores on the hard palate can be caused by bacterial infections. Warm damp areas, such as the mouth, are ideal places for fungi to grow. A person infected by fungi may notice red and patchy or white and creamy spots on the roof of their mouth.3‘Mouth Sores: Causes, Treatment, and Pictures.’ Medical News Today, MediLexicon International, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324680
Allergies, reactions to certain drugs, such as those used for epilepsy, and infections sometimes cause sores and pain on the roof of the mouth. Some of the medications used can also trigger painful skin and mucosal reactions.
