Can you tell me what my ultrasound results mean. a superficial lymph node measuring 1cm in the right parotid gland. is re active in nature.

Inflammation: Reactive means inflammatory probably related to viral or other infection. Ultrasound usually shows some vascularity or hyperemia to node. Usually node disappears with time. Usually lymph nodes one centimeter or less are benign.
