Small ball on side of my mouth i started poking it with a cotton swap and i think it popped. it doesn't hurt or anything but i can feel it. what is it?

Don't know: Without seeing, feeling, measuring the "ball" there's no way to know what it is. There are oh so many possibilities ranging from annoying to serious. Please ask a Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon to examine the area and advise you.
