Swollen lymph node

2020-09-09 05:05:50
There's a hard ball type something on my neck behind right ear. Although I think its swollen lymph node but it's not going small and I think it's getting bigger too. Is it something serious? I had ear pain in july due to ear wax. Which is now better. I'm really worried about this lymph node as I have tried google the cause.
