I have a palpable(feels like a seed, firm and movable, but no pain) pre-auricular lymph node. Which a nearby ENT checked, he said it's within normal range. And when I put my finger below the ear region, and open mouth, it feels sore, only on one side(same side of the node). Apart from that, after a viral, probably influenza only, i am having sore throat since a month. Had 2 rounds (5 + 10 days) of antibiotics already. (Ceftum + cefpodem xp). But the sore throat, which is being caused be post nasal drip, is not resolving. Sometimes i need to clear throat(phlegm), sometimes its PND. Is this Asthma? And coming back to the lymph nodes, i read in some other post on practo that hard lymph node means cancer? Is that true? I am terrified of that :(. Please guide me how to go through this. Day after tomorrow, i am leaving for UK. Which is why its more worrisome for me. Help me out please.
