dear,
well if it happened due to a bite than its oaky and it will heal on its own , simple take folic acid with vit b12, but if its not due to bite than go for a ent ir dentist as it may be a cyst or something else.
as u said it dsnt hurt than u can wait for 5-7 days. if not resolved than go for a dental or ent check up.
thanks.
