thanks for your query, the lump in the jaw could be because of the infection in the gums or the tooth. consult your oral physician and take radiographs and a course of antibiotics for the infection. if the tooth is infected it has to go for RCT or if gum is infected the teeth has to be cleaned. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
