Answers:
Lymph nodes swell when your body is fighting off bacteria and viruses!. Sometimes we notice them, often we don't!. If you can feel the nodes behind your ears also, then that is probably what has happened: your body fought off a virus or bacterial infection!. Lymph nodes often stay clogged or swollen for months, especially if we don't get enough fluid and exercise!. Since you seem to understand a bit about lymph, you will know that hydration is extremely important to move lymph through the body as is exercise!.

Try taking a very hot bath or shower and lightly tapping all around the area of the clavical, upper and lower, throat, jaw line, up to and behind the ears!. Do this often throughout the day!. Take lots of vitamin C and zinc!. Avoid caffeinated beverages for a while along with dairy products until symptoms go away!.

Too much pressure will shut down the lymph nodes, keeping them from functioning!. A way to move and open up the lymph is jogging, running, jumping jacks, walking (but swing your arms large)!.

If you currently have no fever, there should not be cause to worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't put the horse before the cart!. There is no point in worrying about something you have no control over!. At 13 all kinds of strange things happen to the body, just see your doctor and forget about it until then!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i very much doubt its cancer, probably just a blockage
also your only 13, its unusual to get cancer there at that age!

just wait and see what the doctor says

also if its malignant cancer (the dangerous kind) it would be soreWww@Answer-Health@Com
