What May Be The Cause Of Swollen Lymph Node Behind Ear?

Hi I have a swollen lymph node behind my right ear that is small hard and immobile. It has been there for over two years and has not changed in size. I have seen my primary care doctor and he does not seem concerned. I have sebhorric dermatitis of the scalp and inflammation of the sinuses. I am very concerned that this lymoh node is still elarged. It is about 4mm in size.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The enlarged lymphnodes can be because of the sebhorric dermatitis of the scalp or any infection in the ear or around the ear. Nothing to be panic, consult a good general physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocetirizine.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
