Could Swollen Lymph Nodes On The Back And Skull Be Related?

My daughter has what appears to be a swollen lymph node on the back of her neck at the base of her skull. She also has an ear full of impacted wax on the same side. Could the two be related? When do I need to really worry about the swelling of one lymph node? Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that due to having impacted wax there might be having some infection leading to enlarged neck lymph nodes.
Go for treatment of impacted wax and infection and you will feel better.
Put wax dissolving ear drops like Waxolve for few days and after wax becomes loose go for removal of wax.
Ok and take care.
