Bead-like lump in lower lip
I am having this lump that is painless. No history of smoking or trauma. I did experience dry mouth feeling before I noticed the lump for around 3-4 days.
Could this be a thing to worry, or can I wait for 1-2 days before I consult?

First of all, don't worry. A bump this small on the lower lip usually resolves on its own. Try pressing it, if it can be compressed, you dont need to worry at all as it is most likely a mucocele (saliva filled pimple of mucosa). It is always advisable to visit a clinic to get an incisional biopsy done. (They take a tiny part of the bump and then diagnose the exact problem under a microscope in a pathology lab). Rest assured, keep well hydrated. Load up on your multivitamins and do avoid sour foods. It's all okay. No need to worry.
