Sudden swollen largish lump on underside of jawbone - painless

Hello, a friend staying has just discovered a 3cm approx lump on the side of his jaw that he says has only just appeared this evening and is fully painless.

Does anyone know what it might be? I suggested dental abscess but he thinks not.

He doesn't have any other symptoms but am wondering if he needs to call 111 or anything.

See pics! hard to see but it is very pronounced.

Thank you.

The first picture looks red, like an abscess or infection starting.
