thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the ump over the chin could be a periapical abscess or cyst secondary to tooth infection. but limited mouth opening could be because TMJ disc displacement. consult a oral physician get the radiographs doen to rule out tooth infection and jaw joint disorder. take a course of antibiotics. do not open your jaw too wide. take soft diet. i ope my answer will help you. take care.
