What Causes Swelling In The Chin?
Brief Answer:
Please meet your dentist
Detailed Answer:
Hello
The commonest cause for glandular swelling under the chin would be due to dental caries or infected gums and therefore it is advisable to get a dental check up done.
The sinus drainage causing cough needs to be evaluated further with a ct scan and nasal endoscopy.
In my patients I would normally start on a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin which will take care of the glandular swelling and the sinus drainage.
Please discuss this with your doctor
