Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This lump can be because of improper injection also or may be because of infection of tooth which has spread to the roof.
Better that you visit your dentist and get an x-ray done of the area which will show the cause of infection. And get the proper treatment done.
Hope it will help you.
