Brief Answer:
Can be a swollen lymph node

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
It would be better if you upload a picture of the bump.
I can guess it is a swollen lymph node getting painful because of an infection.
You may need to do a total blood count with formula and an ultrasound of it to check it.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further
