You already consulted with doc, so no need to worry.
Wait and watch for few days.
If it creates problem then go to a oral medicine specialist.

If you are still worried after the first consultation, why not take a second opinion, to be sure?
The choice of doctors for a second consultation in this case can be
1. A specialist in Oral Medicine (M. D. S.)
2. A specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery (M. D. S.)
3. A specialist ENT doctor (M. S.)
Hope this helps
Regards.

It was never there or you noticed it just for 10 days ?
If it’s not painful and just you noticed it and not sure how long it’s been there and over 10 days it’s not changing to become better , consult an ent specialist who can do endoscopy or biopsy if needed. Or an opinion from omfs who might consider biopsy if indicated.
