Is A Bump Below The Jaw A Matter Of Medical Emergency?

Hello, my 13 year daughter was home today with a soar throat and just had a slight fever today 99 being the highest. She now has a bump right below the right side of her jaw. I cannot get in to see a doctor right now, I am now sure if this would be an emergency or not.
