What Causes A Lump Under The Chin With Mild Sore Throat?
i have a lump under my chin where my lymphnodes are on the left side. I was big before and then it went down thanks to antibiotics. I have had this for 3 weeks now. I now have a problem with my left ear and that I noticed when I got back on a plane and reached a certain air pressure. Now I have light sore throat.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph node which can be enlarged by an infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using a throat spray and drink liquids. The lymph node will probably go away gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
