What Does A Lump Below The Chin Indicate?

I have a grape sized lump that suddenly appeared within an matter of days. It is on the underside of my chin and pretty hard and swollen. Not on a gland. Very painful, although not hot to the touch. No teeth issues, no sensitivity inside the mouth, no fever. Neck glands all seem fine. I’m a healthy, active 44 year old female. I saw a Dr immediately (day 2of finding lump). He seemed quite confused by it and prescribed azithromax 500mg for 7 days. After 2 days of meds still no relief, in fact it seems to be growing slightly - definitely getting harder.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As there is severe pain, so it seems there is some underlying infection in soft tissue lump as sebaceous cyst, boil or others. I recommend to consult a surgeon at earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
