What might be causes for enlarged lymph nodes near ear, in front of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Lymph nodes enlarge in response to inflammation in the area in which they are located. You may have a minor infection in your ear canal, tooth or other nearby structure which is causing this.
