Hello,
Thanks for choosing hcm forum.
First of all,let me advice you to quit smoking.
Smoking can cause precancerous lesions and can lead into oral as well as lung infections.
To heal the lump gargle using lukewarm saline and betadine.
Gargle frequently with chlorhexidine mouthrinses.
Take antibiotics if symptoms exists.
Please do visit an ENT specialist for further reference.
Take care.
