Hello

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you feel lump under chin this can be swollen lymph nodes or due to dental infection secondary to periapical or periodontal abscess . Dont be worried so much for this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination of lump and get it evaluated . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day and maintain good oral hygiene .

Hope this will help you .
