Hi, it is very difficult to comment on the diagnosis without examining the bump. I advise you not to panic. Please consult a dentist for complete oral examination. It may be an abscess or a bony swelling. You must go for a biopsy to know the exact diagnosis. Please do not delay and go for examination and investigations as soon as possible. Wish you all the best!
