Red small spots on hitting something sharp or taking extremely hot food are common and harmless.
They heal on their own in 3-5days.
A slight irritation or pain could be relieved by benzydamine mouthwash for soothing.
Next Steps
Avoid hot beverages and spicy food for a few days.
You can use Coolora mouthwash for soothing effect.
Health Tips
If there is any pain,apply mucopain in that area for pain relief.
Nothing to worry about.

Red spots on the palate after eating hot food are usually due to minor thermal injury to the delicate oral mucosa. When excessively hot food contacts the palate, it can cause superficial burns, leading to small red or inflamed areas. This is sometimes referred to as a mild form of thermal burn. The heat damages tiny blood vessels, causing redness, tenderness, and occasional discomfort. These spots are typically harmless and heal on their own within a few days.
Next Steps
If the irritation persists start with warm saline rinses and avoid eating anything spicy or tangy for the next5-7 days.
Health Tips
repeated exposure to hot foods can increase sensitivity or irritation, so allowing food to cool slightly before eating is recommended.

Hi ma'am. Red spots on the upper palate after consuming hot food are most commonly due to a minor thermal burn or irritation of the mucosa. This can happen when hot food comes in direct contact with the palate, leading to temporary redness or a small sore. It appears localized and small which is usually not serious.
Next Steps
Avoid hot , spicy foods.
