Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have hard lump inside area of lower gum it can be erupting supernumery tooth or it can be mandibular tori also.
You can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Cosult dentist and go for investigations done if it is tooth erupting supernumery then go for extraction .
If it is mandibular tori then go for excercise and minor surgery.
Hope this will help you.
