Hello,
The bump may be due to aphthous ulcers resulting from-
Vitamin deficiencies.
Immunologic abnormalities.
Poor oral hygiene.
I would suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene.
Give fluids and water to keep hydrated.
Take vitamin rich diet.
Take vaccines at proper time.Maintain good oral hygiene.
Brush your baby's teeth using soft-bristled toothbrush.
Take care.
Hope this helps.
