A member asked:

Marble size lymph node in neck, only on left side. had an ear infection 3 wks ago;treated with antibiotics.. why is the lymph node still large & hard?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The ear infection: could have caused your lymph glands to swell up, so can colds and other infections. It may take a little while for the glands to go down to its normal size, at times, it will just stay.Observe it for now, consult with your PCP if gland start getting bigger and tender with color change & if you have fever. Otherwise, be patient and let it heal.Remember,another inf can cause gland to swell up again!
