Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to consult the concerned Dentist and get the cehckup done take an IOPA X-ray of the region to see if there is any broken root piece in the socket causing re-infection or lump, if so it could be removed or else the pus can be drained after proper antibiotic and analgesic coverage.
I would suggest you to take acourse of antibiotic and analgesic.
At home take lukewarm saline nad antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Maintain a good oral hygeine.

Hope you find this as helpful,
