Hi...by what you quote I feel that this could be a submucus cyst. It is usually harmless. But I suggest you consult a pediatric dentist regarding this. But ot be more precise - I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
