Papillary Thyroid Cancer. Swollen Jaw, Redness, Stuffed Ears, Head Cold. Had Total Thyroidectomy. What Is The Cause?
I had a total thyroidectomy one month ago due to papillary thyroid cancer. THe cancer hasn't spread to surrounding lymph nodes. This week I noticed one of the lymph nodes under my jaw is a little swollen . I also have slight pain in my neck accompanied by red skin and a feeling of my ears being stuffed, like getting a head cold. Is there cause for concern?

Probably it is an inflammatory node not a cancer node.
It is not related to thyroid cancer.
It is better to take a opinion from the ENT doctor in person to treat the cold.
