Swelling under chin

Hi, I had a cold and fly symptoms 2 weeks ago. I noticed a swelling under my chin when I had the flu symptoms. Doctor gave anti biotics and I finished the course after 7 days. The swelling has gone down but not completely just a little swelling can be felt. Is there anything I should be concerned about 

  • Hello Rizla and thanks for your post

    I’m sorry you are worried about a lump under your chin. Most lumps usually appear after a viral or bacterial infection. They can often take several weeks for them to subside and you mention that yours has. But sometimes they may never go back to their original size.

    If you remain concerned about this over the next couple of weeks then do make an appointment to see your GP. They can assess you and hopefully reassure you that this is nothing to be worried about.

    Best wishes,

    Celene

  • Thanks celene. I have a appointment with the ENT specialist tomorrow so hope it will go well. Thanks for your advice.
