A member asked:
Five months ago i noticed a pea-size lump behind my right ear. the doctor said it was a swollen lymph node. the blood test was good. i was told it will go away by itself in 3 months! i still have it (same size, move around, no pain). what is it?

Lymph node: You can watch and wait. You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
