Hi thanks for your question.
The enlarged glands which you are having under chin most probaby could be enlaged submental and cervical lymph node.These lymphnodes get enlarged in infection of the oral cavity.The infection you are having in your oral cavity for which amoxicillin was prescribed to you is most probably resistant to amoxicillin.Reconsult your dentist she may change your antibiotic.Antibiotics will not affect asthama.
Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in hcm forum.
From the details provided,the concern for dental visit is not mentioned.
Since the swelling is at the region of lower chin,chances of developing abscess has to be ruled out.
Meanwhile,continue with your medicines or get them replaced by a physician.
Maintain oral care.
Get the abscess drained and curetted well if present.
Take care.
