Usually swelling under the chin is nothing but submental lymph node. Usually they are enlarged secondary to dental infections or even after a dental procedure. If you have pain then you may need to take antibiotics and painkillers or else no particular treatment is required

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
