Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
First we need to know what the swelling is
Then only we can move ahead and treat it.
I will suggest you upload an image of the swelling.
Also schedule yourself for a usg of the chin and neck.
That way we will have a better and an internal view of whats wrong.
And then we can go further from there.
Looks like an infection by the sound of it.
we may need a culture of the fluid exuding from the swelling.
But lets wait for the report first.
best of luck
