Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history. Noted your history of tooth extraction, tooth abscess and lump in the jawline. This is most probably an abscess or a lymph nodes secondary to an abscess. Get a proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines again and see the results. You can get your blood tested for WBC and rule out diabetes as there is a small chance. Ultrasonography helps to decided whether this is a mass effect like a lymph node, antibioma or a true abscess. IF a true abscess is present , this needs to be drained properly by an Oral or an ENT Surgeon.
