Mucocele: This could be a Mucocele or mucous retention lesion. We all have many minor salivary glands throughout the mouth and are about the size of a b.b. pellet. Sometimes they can get blocked or clogged and a small balloon of salivary fluid forms. They usually do not hurt. You should have it checked out because in rare cases they can be caused by a minor salivary gland tumor and should be removed.

Tongue bump: This is normal anatomy of the sublingual gland duct. But if enlarges bigger that a pea have it checked out. They are paired but rarely are exactly the same size.
