What is this bulge under a curved beak

[16 and me]

Hi all, hoping someone knows what this is. Winnie is about 5 weeks old, and has this curved upper beak. I noticed when I went to trim it this bulge under the beak. Does anyone with experience know if this is an injury from the beak itself, or a birth defect or a tumor or something? I gave her the 1st beak trimming and got it right to the quick, so I'll have to wait a few weeks I guess before I can take it back any further. I am concerned though about that bulge. Any help.is greatly appreciated!

Can you get some more photos, it's a bit fuzzy and dark.

What does the lump feel like?

If you look inside the beak is there any food stuck under the tongue in pocket?

Thanks for your reply @Wyorp Rock
Her bottom beak is so tiny. I opened her little beak and I cannot see a tongue. The bulge acts like it's her tongue if that makes sense. The skin is soft with a small hard bit when it moves. (It moves in out when I close her beak, like perhaps she's pushing it with her tongue.). Is it possible her tongue is balled up in the pocket?

I have been looking to see if I could find anybody who posted anything like this and I found an old post of something similar on a hen

Yes it could be the tongue slipping back there, I've seen a few photos on here of similar issues before and it turned out to be the tongue somehow slipping behind the beak. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark any of those threads so I don't know if anything can be done about it...
