What Causes Small Knot Under Chin Causing Forehead Pressure And Pain When Touched?
Last Tuesday I went to the dentist for an abscess tooth and he prescribed me some antibiotics and pain meds. Sunday I realized that I had a small knot under my chin but near the tonsils area. I touched it and I felt pressure in my forehead and pain in my right ear. What could that be?

hello. it is likely that the swelling is due to an enlarged lymph node, which may be due to the dental abscess. dont worry, continue your antibiotics and it will resolve in 5-7 days. thanks
