What Causes Lumps Under Chin?
My 6 year old son has two hard lumps below his chin. One red one not. They do not hurt or itch. He also woke up this morning with what sounded like a somewhat bad cough, but really hasn't coughed much since then and has been acting otherwise fine. What could it be? Should I be concerned?

Hello. I just read through your question. The lumps you are feeling could be lymph nodes. These typically swell in response to infection, even if the infection is mild. The fact that the lumps don't hurt is a good sign. I recommend watching them for the next day or two. If they continue to increase in size or become painful, I recommend consulting with your doctor to have them examined.
