Suggest Treatment For Lumps Under Chin

My three yr old daughter has pea sized lumps under her chin, I can literally grab them with my fingers and move them around. Also I have noticed that she has lumps on her lower jaw bone. Her right side id quite larger than her left and I am starting to worrry. I took her to see her peditrician last month and she ran a bunch of tests and they were all negative. Should I be worried?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Generally lumps in the sub mandibular regions are arising from sub mandibular gland.
2.Or it could be just dilated salivary ducts due to obstruction congenital abnormality.
3.Initially i would suggest to get an ultrasound neck to find out the cause / where it is arising from / what consistency it has / and how it is with adjacent structures.
4.Only after that - i can further tell for some treatment.
5.If its done its ok or else ask your doc to help you with that, hope it helps.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
