Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Bump can be associated with an infected tooth or sinus infection.
A thorough clinical examination is required.
Also take an IOPA radiograph of the region.
If it is tooth associated then drainage of abscess and root canal treatment is required.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.


Take care!
