Hi,
The blow must have been a very strong one. Even after 9 days, as the chin hurts, I recommend an X-ray of maxillary bone to rule out any fractures. Regarding the swishy knot, it might be swelling in the bone. Please go to a general practitioner and get X-ray done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
