Unless the Adam's Apple is foreign to you and you've been poking your manliness, you might want to get that checked on if you can.

If it's near your neck under the jaw then you have a swollen gland. It's what doctors are checking for when they feel the sides of your neck when you come in when you're sick.
If it's swollen than it means your sick but usually it should go away after a while. It could just be a cold or something, even if you don't feel sick or anything. I had that earlier this month. Just drink some extra orange juice and take your vitamins.
If it doesn't go away after a week, go to the doctor.
If you really mean under the chin, I'm not too sure. Maybe an infection. Do you have a tongue piercing?

I'd get it checked out if you've got any form of insurance.

for me, first comes the glands, then comes the sore throat, then the nose.

However, one of my best friends had a lump in her throat, and had thyroid cancer.
You should get any funny lumps checked.
Also she was 15 at the time.

Seriously though. I had a swollen neck lump once, and turns out it was when I had mono. I only got a LUMP when I had mono. Lols, but my then boyfriend got sick as a dog. Bwahahahaha. Yeah. Swollen lymph nodeses.

There's some pics on there of swollen lymph noids and other causes for a neck lump. I would say it's most likely a swollen lymph noid though.
