You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
Bump/swelling may be due to many reasons.It may be due to enlarged lymph node,mass etc.
After clinical examination,biopsy and Chest X-ray (PA view) can be taken to find out the cause.CT Scan(Thorax)can be done if needed.
You also need routine investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT etc.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
