Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a jaw lumps, I would come up with three possibilities:

1. lymph nodes: could be due to viral infection, tuberculosis, malignant or just normal!
2. infection of salivary glands could be due to dental problems

3. benign and infected cysts

before taking any medicines, please first confirm the reason:I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lumps for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
