RANULA or mucocele of floor of mouth usually reccurs after it gets ruptured. You can wait for few days. If it does not reccur you may not need further treatment. If it reccurs then surgery may be treatment of choice
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
