Brief Answer:
May be mucocele

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I see the pictures you attached and it seems like mucocele or mucus sack . Inflammation is also present since it is red around.
They are common bumps in mouth.
It is getting smaller by itself so it doesn't require any treatment.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
It can go on its own

Detailed Answer:
Usually they go away on their own so you may need to wait two more weeks.
If it is getting bigger and doesn't seem to go away it may require surgery.
