I found a lump on the left side of my face just above the jawline. its been there for abit but now is painful... is this something to worry about?

Dental infection?: Any painful lump in the face or head can be an infection. In the area you describe it might be a dental infection, a lymph mode or a salivary gland infection. Best to see an ENT doctor.
