Hi Tymara,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
The lump below your chin can be inflamed submental lymph node secondary to infection in the oral cavity. You need to consult your doctor and start on antibiotics and some anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen/diclofenac.
Good Luck
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
