Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have lumps on the shin bone region . Well there can be many reason for symptoms you mention in query like bacterial infection , swollen sublingual gland , mucocele or cyst and lymph node . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order CT scan , examine consistency or tenderness or take sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics at least for 10 days along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may give incision to drain , may place tube for drainage or may remove sublingual gland . For now keep yourself hydrate and apply warm compresses to lump.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
