See your doctor: A thorough history and physical exam as well as some basic lab tests may be needed to further evaluate the cause of the lump.

Apply heat: A localized infection could be dental or medical in origin. Check with your dentist to rule out infected gums or teeth, then check with your family doctor after that for medical causes, such as a localized abscess or pus from a blocked salivary gland.
