What can a lump under chin be? i had the flu about 3 weeks ago and that lump came out like a week after i started with flu.

Lymphadenopathy: This is most likely a lymph node and it usually indicates an infection in the upper airways. See your doctor to decide if an antibiotic is required. Both viral and bacterial infections can cause lymph node enlargements. Only bacterial infections require antibiotics.
