Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have ulcer on lower lip and lump under jaw see what happend is when there is infection in oral cavity then lymph nodes are enlarged . Periodontal infection also cause engaged submandibular lymph node so dont be worried so much for ulcer painful ulcer I will suggest you to apply anaesthetic ointment like Mugel or Dentogel two - three times a day, you can take Vitamin B complex supplement by consulting with your local doctor .
I will also advise you to consult dentist for examination of oral cavity and lump under jaw to rule out the cause .

Hope this will help you.
