Hello!
there can be 2 reasons for the lump
First one is that it may be a parotid swelling ( salivary gland)
Second one is that it may be a lymph node enlargement
both of these conditions will subside with antibiotics and you dont have to worry!
please meet your ent doctor for further advice!
thanks
