Swollen lymph nodes
I frequently see my lymph nodes swelling near the ear and in the neck, I've had ear infections twice this year. Now i have a small lump on the right side of my neck below the jaw, for a day i had a feeling like something is stuck in the right side of the throat and now i have no other symptoms. Why do my lymph nodes swell so much? Is this of any concern? When should i consult a doctor.
