What Does Swollen Gland Under The Jaw, Sores On Lips With Chapped Skin Suggest?
Hi. My daughter has a grape sized swollen gland underneath the pallet of her mouth, (under her jaw). She has sores on her bottom lips and I think that they are cold sores, but they may be just chapped skin that scabbed up and was picked by her. She had a cold last week. what do you think of this?

Hello,
How old is your daughter?
Did she take any medicines for cold?
Does she still have fever?
For sores on her lips,a vitamin B complex supplement would be helpful.
For the swollen gland,it's supposed to be a sub mandibular gland swelling which might have occured due to the cold.If it does not subside within a week,and other symptoms like fever and pain persists ,an antibiotic would be required along with an anti-inflammatory analgesic medication like ibuprofen.
