What Causes Tenderness And Swelling Under The Chin?
I am experiencing tenderness and swelling under my chin, a dry persistent cough, and hoarseness, and fatigue. I just got over being on antibiotics a week ago after having been treated for a head cold for 2 weeks although my symptoms were more flu-like. The symptoms I am having now has been going on for a week. What course of action do you recommend?

Hi,
Your symptoms suggestive of upper respiratory tract infection.
The submental swelling could be an enlarged node or salivary gland. It can be due to a reactive process.
If with an antibiotic you have not been improved clinically than I recommend to investigate with digital chest x-ray and spirometry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
