Welcome to health care magic.

1.Lump below the the jaw area - possible causes could be sail-adenitis ( dilated salivary glands due to distal obstruction) or inflammatory cause.
2.Next possible thing is sub mandibular gland, and finally lymph nodal enlargement.
3.And other possible cause could be infected abscess or lesion.
4.Ultrasound neck will help to assess the cause - that will tell the nature of the lesion its source and extension.
5.An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology could be taken if its a mass lesion for identification of the cells.
6.As a remedy muscle relaxant cream can be applied. Rest treatment will be better after evaluating the cause. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
