Q: can mucocele in mouth will come again when it's gone?

: Once a mucocele is treated it is considered healed. If the area is traumatized again, a new mucocele can form.

Possibly. Mucocele is a minor salivary gland with a blocked duct. It can swell, rupture, heal over, and then the whole cycle repeats. If it does see your Dentist or an Oral Surgeon.
