Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, Have got all the permanent teeth erupted? If not, the lump may be arose due to the inflammation while eruption of permanent successors. Get a thorough clinical evaluation by a dentist. Any decayed or periodontal infected teeth if present, has to be detected and treated. Take antibiotics-analgesics after consulting with your dentist. Gargle frequently using warm saline and Betadine. Maintain oral hygiene well. Take care.
