Lump under chin

Hello I am a 17 male, I have recently  discovered a lump under my chin  although you can not physically see the lump, you can feel it. My glands also have lumps but I feel like that’s just swelling on my glands. I recently have had a cold and a sore throat that I thought was tonsillitis but as it  had went away I now question of it was tonsillitis. My throat tends to get sore now and then. Iv also recently had chest pains too. I’m just worried as I have (stupidly) been googling everything just to put my mind and ease but now I’m left scared.

  • Hello Melly5902 and welcome.  You have learned the hard way that there is no benefit in looking up symptoms on the internet.  Think about it.  A real flesh-and-blood doctor looks, feels, asks questions before s/he can even start to make a stab at a diagnosis.  Anyone posting online diagnostics include every possibility no matter how remote or unlikely - they have no way of doing the essential actions involved in making a diagnosis.  We say here that Dr Google is a quack who should have been struck off long ago.  Once you start worrying about things everything seems more pronounced and you feel worse and worse.  I would recommend that you visit your GP who can give you a proper examination and diagnosis.  Then if there is any infection for instance you can get it properly resolved.  Best wishes.  Annie
