A member asked:
Ear infection went 2 week ago but lymph node behind ear still swollen maybe pea size or bigger but some times can't feel it at all?how ong til node goes
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's ok: The node can take months to disappear, and once enlarged, it may never disappear. Pea size is nothing to worry about. Doctors usually don't get concerned until it is larger than a grape.
