What's the definitive way to determine if this white, swollen bump on my upper lip is a cold sore?

Needs to be seen: Unfortunately, we can't diagnose situations such as this without actually seeing you in person. See your dentist or a physician for a proper diagnosis. Even if we described what a cold sore looks like, without professional experience and training, you should not diagnose yourself.

Approx 4 weeks ago a clearish glassy bump developed in my inside lower lip. No known trauma or reason. Not painful, but swollen, red & annoying. Maybe mucocele or canker sore? No self remedies work. Seeing dr next week. Any idea on what it could be?
