    I have had a flat ovalish lump on the right side in the roof of my mouth. I have had it for 11 days. When i feel it with my finger it feels as though there are two bumps in it, it aches a bit if i push on it with my finger or tongue. I am also experiencing a blocked right ear. I am 45 yrs old and have never somked. I am suffering with anxiety at the moment could this be related?

    It certainly sound like a tooth abscess, often these develop because the nerve in an upper molar has died and the infection on one of the roots which is close to your palate is trying to escape and drain throught the skin layer just like a pimple does on your face. I suggest you see a dentist and have an x-ray and nerve vitality tests which should identify the affected tooth. It would then need a root canal treatment if you want to save the tooth or an extraction if you don't want the infection to spread and make you more ill.
