What Causes Swollen Cervical Lymph Node?
I have a swollen cervical lymph node that is pretty decent in size and very tender. I first noticed it July 13th and it is now 11/25. it did not respond to 2 different rounds of antibiotics. It has become more of a nuisance lately and in the past couple days, it feels like there is a pulling on my inner ear, almost like there is a string attached from my inner ear to the lymph node.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a enlarged cervical lymph node.
This is usually seen because of infections or inflammations involving the structures in the head and neck.
The common ones are ENT infections, infections of eye...
The other things to be ruled out are chronic granulomatous inflammations like tuberculosis.....
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
