Brief Answer:
Your symptoms seem to be related to an enlarged lymph node.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to an enlarged lymph node.

The most common cause of the enlarged lymph node is an infection.

I suggest to do a complete blood count to exclude a possible infection.

I also recommend to do a dental visit to exclude the possibility of a tooth infection.

If you don't feel pain or edema of the lymph node, no treatment is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi again dear,

In this case there is nothing to be concerned.

No treatment is required.

If you see any changes in size you should do another physical examination.

Take care dear,

Like I said it’s been there forever- maybe years

No pain and no change- should I be concerned?
