Hi,
Looking to the history there are possibility of,
1, enlarged submandibular lymph node, might be due to some infection in oral cavity like ulcer, carious teeth, infection of gums etc.
2, as this lump increasing while swallowing or chewing chance of obstruction in salivary duct.
Consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
