My experience similar to wizarddv9

Hi,

I had an enormous mucocele for over 2 months.  I tried all the alternative remedies recommended on this site (although I never poked the mucocele with a needle - that seems risky to me).  Nothing was working at all.  I went to the dentist and she said I definitely had to have it removed because it was so huge.  She argued I'd never be able to not bite it by accident.  The next morning it was slightly smaller (coincidence? or did the stretching of a dental appt do something?).  Anyway, I decided to spend 1 day eating while holding my lip out/or just with my mouth open (quite hard to do, actually).  At the end of the day it had reduced by about 25%.  The next day I did the same thing and it reduced to the point of being able to chew with my mouth closed without risk of accidentally grazing/biting it.  It has continued to go down every day since.  It's almost gone.

BOTTOM LINE: It may very well go away if you trust that your body is going to heal itself.  Leave it alone.  Bite it once and you're pretty much back to square 1.  Do everything you can to not bite it.  Don't touch it with your tongue.  Completely leave it alone.  The moment I did, the healing began.

Good luck!
