Small lump feeling in lower inner jaw

A small, round, movable lump in the inner lower jaw is most often benign, commonly due to a reactive lymph node, minor salivary gland swelling, or local irritation.
No urgent treatment is needed now. Monitor it—if it lasts more than 2–3 weeks, grows, becomes painful, or hard, consult a dentist/oral surgeon for examination.

Would recommend a detailed exam in person. These swellings can vary in diagnosis based upon duration, presence of pain or even whether they are hard or soft ok consistency
