The photo is blurry so the exact problem isn't clear, but it's likely not a mystery case — get a second opinion at another hospital. For a swelling in the mouth, ask for a fine-needle aspirate and cytology to rule out a tumor and determine its nature, plus bloodwork and an allergy test, since allergies can also cause oral and mucosal swelling. Find the cause before treating.
