Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swelling on the side of the tongue can be a traumatic fibroma or a mucocele. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
