A member asked:
Dr says i've ear infection due to allergy or infection from fluid buildup & tender, swollen preauricular lymph node 3 days. antibiotics if it doesn't clear. tbh, i've felt & pressed node a lot w/ anxiety & it's bigger now. can that make it bigger?

You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if any of 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!
