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.
Next Steps
Kindly contact and provide more information about your health concern and the picture of the affected area
