This small bump that u talk about is filled with pus. Pus has collected there because of the cavity and infection.

Its as abscess as the tooth near it is grossly decayed. Get the tooth treated before it turns into a big swelling and the tooth needs to be removed. Everything cannot be judged through pictures. Visit dentist for clinical examination and x ray.
