Inflammation: My guess is that you have a small irritated lymph node there, you may not even be able to feel. The best approach is not to mess with it. But if it seems to be enlarging or getting more noticeable even when you don't aggravate it, then gently apply a warm washcloth for 5 minutes every time you think about it. Will help it to calm down. Could conceivably be a bad tooth, also. Good luck!
