I think with what you described its a probable lymph node
Any infection of oral cavity can cause this

Its better to share picture if you are comfortable with. Seems to be a mucocele or cyst (if inside mouth) or lymph node( if outside)

It could be enlarged lymph node due to infection.
Need physical examination to confirm.
