Suggest Treatment For Lump Under My Chin

Hi! I am 43 female caucasian. Overweight. Nerve injury in foot. I have a LUMP under my chin that is swollen and painful. I have also been having much IMBALANCE since Dec. Last time at Dr. no ear infection. I had small injury outer ear that seemed to swell in my head. Jaw hurts a bit, throat mouth a tiny bit. The imbalance feels like I'm on board a boat. I have never tried this online. So glad you are here. Thank you.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, in my opinion you are mostly having enlarged lymphnode.
Since it is painful, possibility of Infection is more.
So you need to rule out ear, nose and throat infection.
Better to consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination. You may need course of antibiotics. And if still swelling is not reducing then you need fine needle aspiration cytology for the diagnosis of cause.
For imbalance, you might require MRI brain to rule out cerebellar pathology. But first get done clinical examination of CNS (central nervous system) for cerebellar signs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
