A member asked:
There is a little hollow spot behind the ear under the mastoid bone and in the neck you can just put your finger into, is there a lymph node in that area?why would it be uncomfortable for me to chew there, there is no swelling at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If the discomfort is not subsiding, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
