What Could Cause Painful Lump Behind The Back Of Tooth?

Hi, for the past three days I have had some pain in the left side of my mouth. Behind the back of my tooth there seems to be a lump (on the lower half and top half of my gum). It is also causing me pain when I swallow and speak. When I press my fingers underneath my jaw (on the left side) I can feel the pain.
