Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump on the inner aspect of the cheek can be a mucocele or a hematoma secondary to trauma to the cheek like biting by the teeth.
Nothing to be panic, its a self limiting condition, if it is a mucocele it will rupture when it gets exposed to trauma while brushing or having food. If it is a hematoma, it take around 10-15 days to resolve. Do saline gargling. If any increase in the size of the lump, then consult a oral physician immediately.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
