What Does A Bruised Bump On Chin Of A Child Indicate?

Hi. My 3yr old daughter had a bump to her chin about a month ago,the bruising and swelling has disappeared but I have noticed a hard lump under her chin which she does not like me touching. What could this be? She s not been sleeping at night and is very miserable at the moment. Could there be something wrong?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having enlarged tender sub mandibular lymph node giving this trouble.
It shows that there might be having some infection in her mouth like carious tooth etc.
consult your doctor and get her examined.
Ok and take care.
