Hi,
Pus filled lump under the jaw may be infected lymphnodes or abscess. You consult surgeon. After through examination and investigations, if required..he may draign the abscess. Heavy antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs may be given to you by him. Improve immunity and hygiene. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
