Yes but other choice: Sulely with this nodule i would be concerned about an infection, this needs to be evaluated now. Other concerns could be a tumor, we flare of the lupus to name a few. You need to see your doctor now.

Probably infection: I guess you have an infection causing swollen node and jaw pain. You should try antibiotics first for at least a week, if not better then consider other causes.
