Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted your history of tooth extraction, tooth abscess and lump in the jawline.
This is most probably an abscess or a lymph nodes secondary to an abscess.
Get a proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines again and see the results.
You can get your blood tested for WBC and rule out diabetes as there is a small chance.
Ultrasonography helps to decided whether this is a mass effect like a lymph node, antibioma or a true abscess.
IF a true abscess is present , this needs to be drained properly by an Oral or an ENT Surgeon.
I find this answer helpful
