My 4 year old has a small size marble bump on his right side, his lump is close to his troat . There's no pain
and he doesn't seem be bother by it. 2 weeks now since I notice it. He had a bad ear infection 4 weeks ago.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
You have rightly expected and it could just be a lymphadenopathy. Nothing to worry about it if its not bothering him or there is no fever or weight loss or family history of contact with a Tuberculosis patient.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
