Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms a small white bump under the tongue that is painless can be a Mucous cyst or a Mucocele that is formed due to trauma to a minor salivary gland and it is harmless and commonly self resolving.
It can also be an apthous ulcer or a canker sore and it is also self resolving..

Nothing to worry, just keep a watch over it for a week.

If it starts resolving then it is fine but in case if it does not show signs of resolution you should consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated and treatment can be planned after a visual examination.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
