Possibly : If it is caused by the herpes virus, the bump will become an ulcer or sore and then scab over and slowly heal. Over the counter treatments such as Abreva and products containing Benzylconium Cloride or prescribed antivirals such as Acyclovir will shorten this cycle or even clear it if applied early enough. See your dentist to confirm the cause before starting treatment.
