Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the lump could be secondary to tooth or gum infection. consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any infection in the tooth. it cannot be a oral cancer. you can take a course of antibiotics and treat the tooth with root cnal treatment or extraction. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
