A mucocele should go away by itself after time. It is basically a swelling caused by saliva that is trapped within a blocked salivary gland. There's more info here on wikipedia as well as a picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucocele
I would still definitely go to the dentist to get it checked out to make sure it is a mucocele, especially since it's been there for longer than 2 weeks.

Go to a doctor to get it checked.
