Suggest Treatment For Lump On Side Of Jaws

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump over the side of the jaw can be a enlarged lymphnode secondary to any tooth or gum infection. The other possible cause can be a fibroma or lipoma. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can start with a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin(if you are not allergic). Nothing to be panic.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
