A member asked:
I have a lymph node under my ear for about a year now that swells up and down all the time but never goes away what could this be?

Get checked: The lymph nodes enlarge when there is an immune response and in your case from another infection. Sometimes scarring occurs leaving the node enlargement permanent. In your case however , it may be a response to a smothering infection which waxes and wanes. Talk to your doctor..
