Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query.

I have gone through your query and reference report you have attached, there is nothing to worry. Based on what I see, it looks like mucocele. It happens when there is trauma in minor glands present in oral cavity.

I will suggest you that it heals in few days. But if it hurts you then can apply anaesthetic ointment like Mucopain or Dologel twice daily for one week .

- You can take one Vitamin B supplements one capsule daily for one week.

- Do XXXXXXX warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

Hope I have answered your query ,

If you have further query I will be happy to help.

Regards ,

Dr. Priyanka tiwari
