Swollen lymph nodes

2017-08-11 14:57:59
There's a swollen lymph node just under my right ear. I got my ears pierced in February & it got infected & didnt heal so I removed d earrings in June & shut d piercings. 3 weeks ago I noticed a painless lump in my neck & got it checked. D doctor said it could be bcoz of d infection & gave some tablets. The swelling hasn't reduced. I'm worried.
