A member asked:
Is there any way to drain a mucous cyst without a doctor? i've heard of using a warm cloth to slowly drain it but i don't know... my cyst just got bigger, help?

If you mean a cyst that's in your mouth (mucocele), it is harmless and should be left alone since it will usually clear up on its own in a few weeks. If it causes pain and has been there for more than a few weeks, see a doctor
