Hello,These swollen lymph nodes are called submental lymph nodes.if you have upper respiratory infection,dental caries or ear infections,etc,there is enlarged nodes... swelling reduces if underlying infection is treated...but if nodes persists even after treating underlying cause, then you will need to evaluate further.
