Hello!Thank you for posting here.
This can be mucocele from your cheek minor salivary glands.This can be a hurt in the cheek from biting etc.
Chronic persistence of this mucocele must be removed with a minor surgery along with removal of the gland.This will prevent any further recurrence.Use a strong saline gargle thrice daily.This will reduce the size of the swelling.
Hope this helps.
