Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump on the jaw line after tooth extraction could be because of the bone cutting and tissue damage during extraction process. Nothing to worry, it will come down by 3-4 days. You can complete the course of antibiotics and you can take antiinflammatory drugs like Tablet enzoflam. do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
