The swollen lumps under your chin are swollen lymph nodes. When we get infections our body will move the offending bacteria into our lymph system where it attacks the infection. The lymph nodes swell and get sore. That's why when you go to the doctor, she feels under your chin and neck to see if you have swollen nodes. Swollen nodes = infection.
