Swallom lymph nodes
Hi 30weeks pregnant for almost 3days I found a lump behind my ear and not so big just a small but with pain. I discussed it with ENT doctor she said it may be a post auricular lymphadenitis not so sure. I have no fever or cold or sore throat. I applied iodex and somewhat it got reduced.
What should I do now will it affect baby??
Should I wait to get resolve on it's own ??

Please consult a General Physician for a physical examination. If it is a lymph node then you will need a few investigations. You can wait for your delivery before you start a definitive treatment. Nothing will happen to your baby.
