Submental lymph node: This is usually a lymph node under your chin, and it usually swells when there is an infection on your chin, or possibly anywhere on your face. I see it most commonly in teens and young adults with acne on their chin, but rosacea on your nose or cheeks could do it. If you don't have an obvious infection, have it checked out by your doctor or an ent. Sometimes an infected cyst causes this.

Get evaluated: This could be a reactive lymph node, or submandibular gland. Causes are varied and range from infections to possible neoplastic/ cancer. Please see your doctor (ent, facial plastic) to be examined.

Tired, mild body aches and a mild sore throat. Oval, pea-sized red lump in my right tonsil. Slightly bloody and has some white. Slightly painful when touched. I do get tonsil stones regularly. Should I have it checked now or watch it for a few days?
