Enlarged Lymph Node: A hot, painful lymph node such as you describe usually signifies it is draining an infection in the area, or is part of a systemic lymphadenopathy, of which there can be many. I would definitely schedule an appointment immediately with a doctor to undergo a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the source.
