My question is why would my retroauricular lymph node only on the left side just swell suddenly? it has grown in the 24 hours, can you explain?

See a doctor: And/or an ENT expert. There is no way that this could be explained without a full history, physicial exam and possibly some imaging studies, labs, etc.
