Lymph nodes arise in response to infection. If you have no symptoms or signs of infection in your ears, throat or scalp then the cause for it needs to be determined. It is quite possible that it is an inflamed or infected cyst as well. Apply local heat and take antiinflammatories and see if it comes to a head or drains. In the meantime make plans to see your provider since it may require antibiotics, surgical drainage or possibly even biopsy.

sounds like an ear infection. you can go to your doc. i havew had lots of ear infections before and that's how it starts.

yea its probly an ear infection. i can feel mine all the time i got ear infections a lot when i was a kid (like 2 a month) and those little bumps tend to swell up when i get one now other than that they're just kinda there check with your doc to make sure

GO TO A DOCTOR! It could and possibly is staff infection, it really is painfull, and trust me if u dnt get it taken care of soon it could not only kill you but youll have a terrible scar where they will have to lance it and drain it. Go to ur dr.
