What Is A Swollen Lymph Node Around The Ear?

Hello, I have a swollen lymph node on the right just in front of my ear. The same ear has a small cyst behind it, I also have a swollen patch near my nose (cheek) on the same side which is infected, similar to a cluster of pimples but different. I have a yeast infection currently being treated. I am 57yo female

The lymph node u r referring to is called ' pe auricular lymph node'. It's swollen due to the infection u.mentioned and its perfectly normal to do so. Once your.infection subsides your lymph node ll be back to normal. Do monitor your cyst for change in size color consistency.
