Not sure: There is no way to know without actually being able to see it. It may be something called a mucocoele that occurs when the duct of a small salivary gland becomes clogged. If it is, it may\ may not go away on its own. If it's not gone in two weeks, make sure you see your dentist for an accurate diagnosis. In the meantime, unless it gets larger or becomes painful, i wouldn't be too concerned about.

Probably mucocele: Clogged tiny salivary duct. May resolve on its own or can be easily removed.
