Hi,
Nothing to worry, the lump you are having might be having enlarged sub mandibular lymph nodes.
This might be due to some infection in mouth or throat.
As you had cold, at the same time there might be having pharyngitis or tonsillitis might gave this problem.
Do warm water antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
