Hello
Go to a dentist and see if there is any bad teeth with cavities in the mouth.
Sometimes pus formation occurs from a cavity and causes swelling in submandibular region.
You need to go to a dentist soon else put some photos of inside mouth and outside so that i could look and prescribe medicines for you.
Thank you

Hello
Put some photos so that i could prescribe medicines or show it to a dentist.
The swelling could be due to some cavities in teeth which are now causing pus formation, swelling and pain.
Thank you
