Seems like a submandibular gland infection as pointed out. Get a CECT neck to find out cause so treatment can be made easy without surgery.

Thanks for writing to Practo. I can understand your concern. This limited history provided indicates that ..this could be Submandibular gland infection. It's better if you can share a picture of the region. You might require an Ultrasound scan of neck.
