A member asked:
Will fluid behind my ear drum cause lymph nodes to swell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear infection & Node: A lymph node swells when it is fighting off an infection in the tissue up stream from it. An ear infection can very easily lead to swollen lymph nodes. If this is the case the lymph nodes may stay swollen longer than one is on medication for the infection.
