What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes Under The Ears?
Hi I am an 18 year old male who just recently had a red/pinkish rash behind my ear. I have been washing it this week and it is going away. However, after shaving i saw a blackish dot on the lymph node just below might right ear. Both nodes (under each ear) seem to be swollen and tender. What do you think?

Hi,
These lymph nodes are due to infections you had behind the ear. The lymph nodes filter the blood that is going / coming to the adjacent structures. Kindly consider taking a course of antibiotics and crocin for at least 7 to 10 days. You can also give hot fomentation 2 to 3 times everyday.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
