Suggest medicine for lump on the mouth caused due to bony projection of maxilla
Patient: I have just had a CT scan for a lump in the roof of my mouth right upper jaw, report goes like this. Bony projection is seen rising from the inner aspect of the maxillary alveolar process adjacent to the right first molar and it is continuous with the cortex. It is keeping with a small osteoma. The maxillary teeth appear normal on this study. Incedentally there is prominent maxillary soft tissue thickening in keeping with sinonasal mucosal disease. I am 44 years of age and have no previous medical history in this area. Doctor: Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.As such there is no medicines for the osteoma or lump secondary to bony growth. It has to be treated surgically. If you have pain then you can take pain killers like diclofenac. Get the osteoma removed surgically by consulting a oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Regarding the sinus problem, which is reported in CT you have to consult a ENT surgeon.I hope my answer will help you. Take care
