Hi.
Thanks for your query.
nothing to worry about.
This is a small lymph node; may be you have or had a small injury or infection in the oral cavity so that the lymph node picked up the infection.
This may settle on its own as the body is the basic healing force , we just assist by giving antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines whenever is felt necessary; you may need only if the node enlarges in size or pain.
