Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swelling in the floor of the mouth while eating is not the lymphnode. it is the salivary gland. This occurs whenever there is obstruction in the salivary gland duct secondary to a stone. Whenever you eat something, the salivary gland will get stimulated and secretes saliva but because of the obstruction the salivary gland will get swollen. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a cross sectional radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. If there is a stone, then it has to be removed surgically.
I hope i have answered your query.
Take care.
