What Causes Two Grown Lymph Nodes In Right Ear?

Hi, I have the following symptoms, most of them only occur on the left side of my body: - normal pain in my left ear (since a week, up to 5 times daily, 5 min a time) - weak to normal pain behind and around my left ear (same as above) - weak pain under the left side of my jaw(same as above) - very weak pressure pain under the neck muscle on the left side (since a week, all the time) - normal pressure pain under the left collarbone (since a week, 20 times or more a day) - weak to normal piercing pain somewhere between the 3rd and 5th rib directly left to the middle of my chest(since a week, nearly all the time) - normal piercing pain in the front side of my left armpit(since 3 days, 20 times or more a day) - pulsating in my upper right arm (since some hours, all the time),(this one might be trivial since it s not very old) - two grown lymph nodes, one in front of my right ear(~0.8cm diameter) was soft 3 weeks ago and turned hard 2 weeks ago, the other one on the left side of my neck between the neck-pain-position and the collarbone (~0.8cm diameter) is hard and probably only two weeks old. Both are: too small to be seen directly, mobile under the skin and don t hurt. I visited a doctor a week ago and asked him about the lymph nodes, he said that it s nothing bad. But since the new symptoms came along, I wanted to make sure that there s nothing to worry about. Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Pain with enlarged lymph nodes indicate a probable infection of your ear however you can have other non infective causes also for the above symptoms. I would advise you to visit an ENT specialist and get the diagnosis confirmed. If the cause is infective then treatment with antibiotics and supportive therapy would help. The extent of severity can't be ascertained with the info provided by you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
