Obstructed Gland: The veins are normal. The ball could be an obstructed salivary gland. If it doesn't resolve itself, see your dentist.

Possibly: Probably nothing to worry about, but examination needed to determine diagnosis and treatment plan. Please call your Dentist. If you don't have one, ask family/friends/coworkers for recommendation. The smartest thing you can do is seek a professional examination.
