On short duration history, it is likely inflammatory/lymphoid or minor mucosal swelling. Immediate intervention not required at present.
Next Steps
Warm saline or diluted povidone-iodine gargles 2–3 times daily.
Avoid spicy/hot foods and local trauma.
Do not manipulate or press the swelling.
Maintain oral hygiene.
