A 21-year-old female asked:
i had an infection 6 wks ago and felt one lymph node enlarged in the back of my right ear. i've never felt it so i think its new, and the size (1cm) didn't decreased. i also feel tingling on my legs and arms, maybe due to anxiety... should i worry?

Lymph node: Enlarged lymph node can occur if recently sick: where you recently sick? Are you a smoker or chew tobacco? Let us know. Sometimes it can be normal but consult with us to be sure.
