Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic forum.

Lump arised at the back left side of jaw may be due to-deep caries ,periodontitis,pericoronitis due to impacted wisdom tooth.

I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical evaluation by a dentist.

Pus within the lump has to be drained completely.

Associated tooth has to be root canal treated if necessary.

Take amoxycllin -500mg tablets thrice daily for 3 days along with analgesics.

If there is impacted tooth,it has to be extracted or retained depending on the position of erupting tooth.

Meanwhile,maintain oral care.

Hope this helps.
