What Causes Swollen Lymph Node Under The Ear With Pain?
Hello- I have a pea size hard lump (lymph node) just below my ear, that is constantly painful and 10 times worse after 5 minutes of wind or a bit of water gets in it. It has been there for years and I have seen a doctor after an apparent infection there. Also saw an audiologist who could not feel the bump- but I can, and said come back when it is inflamed!! Im sick of dealing with the pain from this- what can I do?
