Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The movable lump near the lower jaw bone can be a enlarged lymphnode secondary to tooth or gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it evaluated. If there are any infected teeth or gums, then it has to be treated accordingly. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
