These are mucocele and are a common occurrence inside the mouth. No need to worry but avoid smoking and having very hot or spicy food. Do not pick on them, they will rupture on their own.

it is called Mucocele. A mucocele is a benign, mucus-containing cystic lesion of the minor salivary gland. In most cases, oral mucocele treatment is unnecessary since the cyst ruptures on its own â usually after three to six weeks.
Next Steps
If the mucocele is persistent or large in size, you should visit your dentist.
