A member asked:
I have had a lump of flesh under my ear for 6 years. the pain here is mild these days. how can i do now?

Concerning changes: Many of us can have enlarged, palpable lymph nodes following an ear or respiratory infection. However, these are usually painless. As you have had this for 6 years and only now are starting to have symptoms from it, I recommend having this evaluated. It is possible an ultrasound or biopsy might be needed as the next step
